Rebirth 1984: Starting with the development of Hanka

Time was running out, and Zhao Ye was still waiting, just like a hibernating hunter, quietly waiting for his prey to take the bait.

In about half a month, Wujiang Photoresist Company has been able to absorb the technology of Inpex Company very well.

At this time, Zhao Ye directly asked Inpex to send engineers to Wujiang Photoresist Company to assist Li Yiming and others in establishing a photoresist production plant.

Of course, this must be done quietly.

Finally, they tricked the four major RB photoresist manufacturers and caught them off guard, thus seizing the g-line photoresist market.

At the same time, we must also start researching the next generation of i-line photoresist (365nm).

After acquiring inpex company, the research and development speed of i-line photoresist will be greatly improved.

"Boss, the financial statements for 1985 are ready!" Liu Yinyin walked up to Zhao Ye and said, handing over a document.

"Okay, I understand." Zhao Ye nodded to Liu Yinyin, took the document and began to read it.

Upon seeing this, Liu Yinyin quietly retreated.

"In 1985, Wujiang Group's revenue was 48.5 billion yuan, and its net profit after tax was 23 billion yuan!"

"The global sales of Imagine typewriters are 16 billion yuan. The main market is still domestic, generating 10 billion yuan in revenue, and only about 6 million abroad. This year, the U.S. typewriter market has begun to become sluggish, probably within two years. It’s profitable.”

"Imagine printing chain store has created a revenue of 1.25 million in the country, and the effect is remarkable! Printing is a real need, and just by making money from the students, you can have enough to eat. During this period, print shops are scarce, and the Imagine printing chain store should be regarded as the first A business that’s trying to stop itself.”

"The global sales of Imagine Hanka 2.0 are actually only 1.4 million yuan. Alas, there is no way. On the one hand, the competition in Hanka is too fierce. On the other hand, not many Chinese can afford PCs. The main users are domestic. agencies and government units.”

"Imagine digital BB machines are popular all over the world, and its sales are beyond expectations, reaching 22.4 billion yuan, making it the highest-grossing product of Wujiang Group!"

“Imagine computer motherboard sales are RMB 4.52 million!”

"Sales of WPS-Office software reach 1.12 million people."

"PC agent sales reached 2.32 million yuan."

"Due to the limited output of Kirin 1 chips, which are currently only self-produced and sold, Loongson Design Company has not made a penny and relies entirely on blood transfusions from its parent company, Wujiang Group."

"Shanghai Animation Film Studio doesn't make much money either. All the animations it produces are planned to be sent to TV stations for free."

Zhao Ye said to himself, "Wujiang Microelectronics is a joint venture with independent finances. It currently relies on OEM production of Kirin 1 chips and production and sales of BG-101 stepper lithography machines, creating revenue of up to 3.04 million yuan. However, the company’s R&D and fab expansion expenses are huge. So far, Wujiang Microelectronics is still not profitable..."

"Not to mention Wujiang Photoresist Company, which was established not long ago and is still building a photoresist factory..."

"However, at the beginning of the year, we made a profit of US$10 billion from foreign exchange settlement, which is almost 30 billion yuan."

Zhao Ye looked shocked: "If you add in the 23 billion yuan in net profits created by Wujiang Group's physical enterprises, I made 53 billion yuan last year?! However, I also spent money to buy land to build factories, and acquired inpex, Shanghai Art Film Production Factories and so on, it cost a lot of money.”

"At this time, not counting the money earned from foreign exchange, domestic companies have billions of yuan in funds in their accounts. It's so scary!"

In 1986, when the per capita monthly income was almost yuan, Wujiang Group was as rich as the country.

Even Zhao Ye himself couldn't help but be shocked when he thought that Wujiang Group was making so much money.

However, if this money is invested in the semiconductor field, it will only be a drop in the bucket.

Take PCs as an example. Wujiang needs to independently develop CPU, memory, hard disk, graphics card, monitor, etc. However, Wujiang Group can only produce 8-bit CPUs at most, which is far from Intel's 32-bit Intel80386 chip and is completely competitive. But the other party. As for memory, hard drives, graphics cards, and monitors, Wujiang cannot produce any of them by itself and can only import them from abroad.

At present, Wujiang is already developing a PC operating system, but in terms of hardware, its own foundation is too poor, so Wujiang Group has not launched its own brand of computers.

Fortunately, the Windows 1.0 Windows operating system launched by Microsoft last year was not successful and was scolded by many old users. In the previous life, it was not until May 1990, 5, that Windows 22 was officially released, which became Microsoft's first product to achieve widespread commercial success.

There are still four years left before 1990. During this period, Wujiang Group can develop a better system than Windows 3.0.

As the saying goes: "If you don't make a sound, it will be a blockbuster!"

The development of the Borderless Operating System began last year. By 1990, it could be said that it took five years of hard work. Zhao Ye was confident that the Borderless Operating System would directly crush Windows 3.0 once it was released.

"In the first half of this year, Wujiang Group's TV game console should be released!"

"In addition, in the PC industry chain, memory, hard drives, monitors and graphics cards also need to be invested in research and development. Although it is more difficult to invest in the entire industry chain, Samsung can do it, and so can Wujiang Group. If you are reborn, isn't it? Do you want to achieve this?"

Thinking of this, Zhao Ye suddenly felt that the little money Wujiang Group was making now was not that much, and there was still a long way to go.

On this day, Zhao Ye was sitting in the office planning how the money in Wujiang Group's books should be used.

Before leaving get off work, he thought about it and spent 20 billion yuan to continue to invest in semiconductors and complete seven goals.

1. Develop EDA software.

2. Develop 16-bit microprocessor-Kirin 2.

3. Develop memory chips.

4. Develop more advanced photolithography machines.

5. Wafer fab expansion.

6. Develop i-line photoresist.

7. Support companies in the domestic semiconductor industry chain. One flower blooming alone is not spring, but a hundred flowers blooming together fills the garden. It is impossible for Wujiang Group to cover the entire semiconductor industry chain. Therefore, it is necessary to support the development of some companies. Everyone grows together.

Looking at the setting sun outside the window, Zhao Ye rubbed his tired eyes and laughed in a low voice: "This 20 billion yuan is an astronomical sum at this time. If all of it is invested in the semiconductor industry, it will definitely make a difference in the domestic semiconductor field." Earth-shaking changes!”

call!

Zhao Ye breathed out, with a look of anticipation on his face.

The next morning, Zhao Ye held a meeting. At the meeting, he stated his investment decisions and asked everyone to follow up on these investment projects.

Everyone present was shocked. Wujiang Group invested nearly 10 billion yuan in the semiconductor industry last year, and this year it invested 20 billion yuan. Among them, RMB 5 million was invested in Wujiang Microelectronics Company, increasing the shareholding to 75%.

By the way, it is rare in China to burn money so fiercely!

"Fortunately, our Wujiang Group is relatively profitable. Otherwise, with the boss burning money at such a rate, no company can persist!"

"Yes, it used to be 10 billion, but now it is 20 billion. Even the country cannot easily spend so much on investing in semiconductors. After all, there are still many places across the country that need to spend money."

"Haha, I just like to stay in a company like this!"

After the meeting, many senior executives were still filled with emotion.

"Domestic electrical or electronic companies generally purchase electronic components directly from abroad. However, our Wujiang Group is unique and has to invest huge sums of money in research and development."

Zhou Tian, ​​the new sales executive, shook his head and sighed, "Especially investing in the semiconductor industry costs too much money. If this money had been used directly to develop new products, we might have made a lot of money long ago."

Technical Director Wang Jizhi curled his lips and said: "Haha, hasn't the photoresist supply cutoff taught you a profound lesson? It's the right thing for the boss to do this! If you can't produce something yourself, you're risking your life. Leave it to others. If others want to strangle us, it will be easy!"

Zhou Tian was speechless.
