Chapter 1380 Integration
His brother whom he hadn't seen for a long time came to visit. Fang Zhuo put down his work early, both out of personal friendship and to explain the situation. At noon, he drove straight home without going anywhere else.
This was Zheng Danrui's first visit and also the first time he saw Fang Xiaoman. He teased her for a long time and then gave her a small red envelope.
At lunch time, we clink glasses, reminisce about the past and look forward to the future.
Zheng Danrui felt far more emotion in his heart than Fang Zhuo. The man next to him was no longer the same as before. The Yike system he led had become a behemoth, and he himself had become an extremely influential representative figure of Eastern business.
He really liked the slogan shouted by Yi Ke: Keep improving.
Who doesn’t want to join the team? However, Yi Ke and Fang Zhuo are making great progress!
The wine was flowing and the family dinner atmosphere was relaxed.
"Fang Zhuo, actually, there's something I've been wanting to ask you all these years." Zheng Danrui has been calling Fang Zhuo "Mr. Fang" ever since he met him. This is the first time he's addressed him by his name during their meal, but it doesn't seem abrupt after three rounds of drinks.
"Brother Zheng, just tell me what you say. I will tell you everything I know." Fang Zhuo said with a smile.
Zheng Danrui held the wine glass and said with a slight drunkenness, "When you were doing the online registration, did you expect that online charging would be banned?"
Regarding Mr. Fang’s first project that year, Zheng Danrui was the one who always supported him behind the scenes, because it was an information construction project that he discovered personally.
However, the originally planned closed-loop charging plan was rejected after being considered by the higher-ups. This forced him to go there in person and bluntly asked Mr. Fang to maintain the project. He also did a small favor by changing the nature of the funds.
For many years after that, Zheng Danrui felt that it was President Fang who held on to help him maintain his performance, but later... Yi Ke was thriving, and President Fang was pure and innocent, so he couldn't help but have an idea... Could it be that he was also involved in the conspiracy?
The past is long gone, and everyone is in a good situation now. Logically, things that can be asked or not should be kept in mind, but he has been thinking about it when he has nothing to do in the past two years, and he still wants to get to the bottom of it.
"Hey, brother, now that you mention it, the past events are still vivid in my mind. Oh, how could I have thought that I would be killed by the policy." Fang Zhuo no longer called him "Brother Zheng", and his words were full of sincerity.
He sighed, "To be honest, I was often bothered by it during the first two years of my time at Yike. I couldn't sleep at night because of it. If it weren't for your support, there might not have been Yike. Later, Yike had a good momentum of development, and we had money, and my worries gradually eased."
Zheng Danrui wished he had a pair of sharp eyes so he could tell whether what Mr. Fang said was true or false.
He was silent for two seconds and then raised his glass.
The two of them toasted, and the past that had long been decided was also reflected in the wine.
Zheng Danrui talked about his work in business for a while, and changed his address to "Mr. Fang" again, and asked, "Mr. Fang, what does Bingxin need now?"
"If you want to talk about what we need...it's not something that can be done overnight. Many things can't be rushed. Reinventing the wheel itself requires patience." Fang Zhuo thought about it and thought of something to talk about. "We have made a lot of arrangements in the semiconductor industry, whether it's design, manufacturing or C-end competition. However, when I was in the United States a few months ago, I wanted to try to form a strong alliance with Changdian, and I also made an appointment to talk when I returned to China, but these days, they are avoiding me."
Really hiding!
Either they flew to Pengcheng, or they flew to Singapore, or they went on inspection somewhere, and they just couldn't squeeze out time to meet.
Fang Zhuo is not the kind of person who forces others to do things. If someone else asks, it would be fine, but since this is his own brother, he might as well talk about it since he asked.
I am in business and he is in commerce, we are similar and we can bump ideas together.
Zheng Danrui just raised the cup and gently put it down on the table.
He knew what Bingxin meant to Changdian, but love is not as important as affection. Although Bingxin was important, other companies could not have their way with it.
Moreover, Changdian has already achieved good results in the semiconductor packaging and testing sector. If it can acquire Singapore's STATS ChipPAC this time, its size will increase dramatically.
But... now it's different.
Bingxin has successfully launched the world's first 16nm process technology, but there are already rumors that it is facing targeting. It's not easy for children.
Besides, Changdian may not really be unwilling.
Does avoiding Mr. Fang mean you are unwilling?
Mr. Fang is not a casual person. Facts have proved that he is really capable of achieving results. From the perspective of the overall development of the industry, are wafer manufacturing and packaging and testing more closely linked?
If an industry is about to face changes, everything else is secondary, and of course whoever can achieve results will be given the lead.
Zheng Danrui thought for a while and criticized: "Boss Fang, Changdian has its own plans. It has great ambitions to acquire STATS ChipPAC this time. Aren't you disrupting other people's hard work?"
Fang Zhuo felt relieved when he heard the criticism, and answered seriously: "Indeed, every company has its own plans. I feel uneasy when I think that it may disrupt Changdian's plan, but..."
He still used competitors as an example: "Bingxin has only a few competitors in the industry, and Taiji and Samsung are both involved in downstream, seeking a more cost-effective overall strategy. This direction should be correct."
"Similarly, Mr. Qiu from Bingxin has always wanted to expand in this direction. Our previous attempt was to jointly develop advanced packaging with Changdian, but the results were not very good."
Zheng Danrui listened carefully and nodded silently. It seemed that Mr. Fang did so for a reason.
"If possible, we still hope to completely complete the overall layout of the domestic industrial chain. In the future, we will focus more on fighting tough battles and also take into account the issue of reinventing the wheel." Fang Zhuo paused for a moment and said sincerely, "It is true that time is running out. It is not easy for Bingxin to catch up to this point now."
Zheng Danrui hesitated for a while, then nodded and said in an informal manner: "Then I'll ask for you. It's always a good idea for everyone to sit down and discuss the future of the industry at this time."
Fang Zhuo raised his glass happily.
Zheng Danrui also raised his glass, but still couldn't help but say, "Boss Fang, this is how you became the strongest. You never miss any opportunity to speak."
"Forget about others, my brother asked me to do it." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "I did it."
Zheng Danrui drank the same glass of wine. The reason for this drink was simply because of the poem that he had heard Mr. Fang say in the office earlier.
At noon, the family dinner was enjoyed by both the guests and the hosts.
However, although Zheng Danrui came here informally, he still had a small mission. He wanted to hear in person the leader of Bingxin's assessment of future risks and the latest plans.
In this regard, the Wafer Manufacturing Service Alliance led by Bingxin has been providing data and reference opinions, while also striving to promote the development of the domestic industry.
However, many people still want to know Mr. Fang’s own judgment and attitude.
Fang Zhuo talked about this again in the evening. The conversation took place at the "Huali Phase I" factory. Since being acquired by Bingxin, it has been cooperating with many domestic manufacturers to try to beautify and localize the production lines.
In the past two years, the progress of de-beautification has been very good. Although there are certain competitiveness issues in the yield rate, it is generally satisfactory. Of course, this is also related to its manufacturing process.
The first de-beautification production line that "Huali Phase I" successfully ran was 65nm, which means that it was not until the third quarter of this year that it was barely able to run 45nm, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in yield.
"This speed is actually quite good." Fang Zhuo took Brother Zheng for a stroll in the factory, pointing to Line B that had just been completed a few months ago, and said, "After all, the outside world is not a monolithic entity. We always have room to maneuver step by step. 45nm may seem very different from Luzhou's 16nm, but Luzhou has the world's most advanced equipment, which means something different."
What's more, the following route has been verified step by step by ice cores.
"It would be great if we can run the 16nm C-line here," Zheng Danrui said with anticipation.
Fang Zhuo pondered, this question...
He answered indirectly: "If the industrial situation changes greatly, there is no need to rush for cutting-edge breakthroughs. Bingxin's own 16nm can still hold up. Sub-advanced and mature processes such as 28nm and 45nm have a large market space. Amei will only start from the cutting edge and work downwards. The more we master and the more we can operate smoothly, the smaller the overall impact will be."
Not all products must use 16nm. Bingxin is still expanding its 28nm production capacity. The competitive standard for 16nm is compared with Taiwan Semiconductor and Samsung, but 28nm is actually more advanced than most manufacturers in the world.
Even now, Bingxin's 45nm still contributes 22.9% of revenue, while this share in the previous two years was as high as 33.6%.
According to today's industry perspective, 28nm will be the dividing line between advanced and non-advanced processes, which means it can contribute longer vitality.
"Well, we do have strategic space, but Yi Ke..." Zheng Danrui thought of Yi Ke, who was in the limelight.
"YiKe is a Nasdaq-listed company. Our market value is very high now, and many of our shares are in the hands of Wall Street institutions. In any case, we do not expect to suffer an immediate forced attack. Perhaps the other party is also finding it difficult." Fang Zhuo talked about the current situation, concealing some parts that were inconvenient to talk about.
Zheng Danrui nodded and said, "I just feel sorry for it."
"This is a new project." Fang Zhuo pointed to Huali's factory again, and then pointed in the direction of Luzhou, "Luzhou has also started."
Finally, he pointed in the direction of Yike headquarters and said, "Yike has also created a large market and is still working hard to ship products. These are all progress that are beyond my imagination. Sometimes when I think about it, I am already very pleased."
Before Zheng Danrui could say anything, he saw Secretary Fang, who was standing on the other side, answer a phone call and then come over here.
"Mr. Fang, Intel announced that it will launch a 12nm processor on December 31st." Liu Zonghong reported a piece of news, "and also said that the cooperation between Bingxin International and AMD will be a severe challenge."
"We haven't officially reached a cooperation agreement yet." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "We have to publish it on the last day of this year and leave our names in 2014. It's hard for Intel."
There was a problem with my computer and I didn't bring my notebook with me, so it took me a while. I'll make up the word count tomorrow.
I've been so busy since the Chinese New Year... I would like to thank Ren Kankan for his reward as the leader, and Guo Bohu for his large reward with a very apologetic mood. I am also very grateful to everyone for their continued subscription and monthly ticket support.
If nothing unexpected happens, the book will be finished by the end of next month. If something unexpected happens (such as the update being too slow), the book will be finished in April.
Next month I won't be very busy, I plan to update more and make up for the past overdue updates, I can't finish the book and still owe it...
