#334 - Huaxing Semiconductor Production Capacity

After a night of conversation last night, Liu Jianyu devoted all his energy to the design of the new flagship phone.

Because the sales of the Hongmeng X series third-generation mobile phone are basically settled, it can be said that the champion of this year's Android flagship sales must be the Hongmeng X series third-generation mobile phone.

Two days after the launch, the sales of the Hongmeng X series third-generation mobile phone gradually changed from hot to calm, and online sales also dropped directly from 3 million yesterday to 800,000.

Lu Haifeng had predicted this kind of thing, but he was not worried that the sales of this product would not go up, after all, the configuration was there.

The sales of the Hongmeng X series third-generation mobile phone have basically been settled, and Lu Haifeng temporarily shifted his focus to Huaxing Semiconductor.

After more than two years of wrangling, Huaxing Semiconductor also began to enter the production stage in the second half of this year.

This also means that after the output of Huaxing Semiconductor reaches a certain standard, it can officially accept orders from other companies.

However, what Lu Haifeng didn't expect was that the first company to apply for an order from Huaxing Semiconductor was none other than Huawei, Huaxing Technology's old rival.

This time, Huawei's order was for 20 million mid-range processor chips with a 10-nanometer manufacturing process.

This time, Huawei did not give the processor chip order to Bay Bay TSMC or other chip processor foundries, which is naturally Huawei's consideration.

In Huawei's view, although Huaxing Semiconductor was established for a short time, its production technology is still relatively excellent.

Judging from the Hongmeng X series third-generation mobile phone released by Huaxing Technology this year, Huaxing Semiconductor is not weak at all compared to Bay Bay TSMC.

Moreover, the processor cost of Huaxing Semiconductor is cheaper than that of Bay Bay TSMC. Under this circumstance, it is natural for Huawei to hand over this batch of goods to Huaxing Semiconductor.

Huawei's choice to place an order with Huaxing Semiconductor has another deeper reason.

That is Huawei's extreme survival assumption. If one day global chip manufacturers no longer produce chips for Huawei, then Huaxing Semiconductor is their only way out.

Lu Haifeng did not directly respond to the order placed by Huawei, because he didn't know much about the production capacity of Huaxing Semiconductor.

So Lu Haifeng had to find Zhang Yu, the person in charge of Huaxing Semiconductor, and asked: "If the company is fully producing 10-nanometer processors, how many 10-nanometer processors can it produce in a month!"

If possible, Lu Haifeng didn't want to reject this order, after all, he couldn't miss the business that was delivered to him.

According to the current chip foundry cost, each time they help them produce a processor, the other party needs to pay Huaxing Semiconductor about 300 yuan.

If it can be accepted, this income is also a large number, of course, the premise is that it does not affect the processor production of its own company.

Zhang Yu thought for a while after hearing Lu Haifeng's question and said: "Now we are basically very proficient in the 10-nanometer processor manufacturing process!"

"Moreover, the yield rate can basically be maintained above 98%. It should not be a problem to produce 20 million processors a month!"

Zhang Yu knows the production status of Huaxing Semiconductor very well. Although Huaxing Semiconductor is not as good as Bay Bay TSMC, which produces tens of billions of processors a year, it is no problem to produce two or three billion processors.

And such a production volume, to be honest, is completely sufficient for Huaxing Technology, and even more than enough.

After all, according to the current mobile phone market in Daxia, the annual shipment volume is about 500 million units.

According to the current development level of Huaxing Technology, a shipment volume of 100 million units a year is already the limit.

That is to say, Huaxing Semiconductor only needs to keep half of its production capacity for Huaxing Technology, and with this half of the production capacity, Huaxing Technology is enough.

Lu Haifeng knew what to do when he heard this. For the matter of making money, as long as it doesn't directly damage his own interests, to be honest, he can choose to cooperate.

"When can the 7-nanometer manufacturing process be produced?"

"President Lu, I estimate that there will be great progress next year, and mass production should be possible the year after that."

Huaxing Semiconductor was built by Zhang Yu himself, and he is particularly concerned about chip manufacturing.

Now that Huaxing Semiconductor has basically mastered the 10-nanometer production and manufacturing process, it can safely attack the 7-nanometer manufacturing process next.

Lu Haifeng trusts Zhang Yu very much. According to the current global semiconductor manufacturing technology, Zhang Yu's team is already at the forefront.

Compared with the top Bay Bay TSMC and Samsung, Huaxing Semiconductor is only a little bit behind.

After staying in Huaxing Semiconductor for half a day, Lu Haifeng went directly to Audi Motors.

As soon as Lu Haifeng arrived at Audi Motors, Zhao Jianhua came over.

Seeing Zhao Jianhua, Lu Haifeng smiled and said: "I just finished dealing with Huaxing Technology's affairs, and you came to find me!"

"President Zhao, you really know how to pick the time!"

"Tell me! What's the matter!"

Hearing Lu Haifeng's words, Zhao Jianhua said with a smile: "President Lu, isn't it because I saw you come back that I came to find you?"

"There is something that President Lu needs to decide!"

"What's the matter?"

"President Lu, this is the thing. Now that our Audi Motors has gained a firm foothold in China, so I think should we invest in building factories overseas!"

Lu Haifeng was immediately a little puzzled and said: "Build factories overseas?"

"Yes, it is to build factories overseas!"

"If we build factories overseas, it will be more convenient to supply the overseas market!"

"After all, it is a long way from China to all parts of the world, which is not convenient for transportation, and the cycle is also very long!"

"Look at those international automobile giants, which one is not to meet the supply of the local market, they will establish their own automobile factories locally!"

"In this way, the cost can be greatly reduced, and the price is relatively more competitive!"

"If the cost is reduced, our market competitiveness will be stronger!"

"Moreover, with the development of our Audi Motors, we will definitely reach this step in the future!"

"I think we can start preparing now, after all, building factories overseas is not a matter of a day or two, so it is better to prepare early to avoid delaying more time in the future!"

Hearing Zhao Jianhua's words, Lu Haifeng thought for a while and shook his head and said: "President Zhao, we are not in a hurry to build factories overseas, let's talk about it later!"

"In my opinion, now is not the time for us to consider this issue!"

Lu Haifeng is very clear about the necessity of building factories overseas, which is very important for a brand's market expansion.

If you want to occupy more market share in the local area, there are too many benefits to building factories locally.
