Chapter 24 The choice of hell difficulty(1/2)
Building a lithography machine from the future is indeed a bit too sci-fi.
But touching his young face, he realized that he had already traveled through time, plus the mobile phone in his pocket.
Is there anything crazier than this in this world?
In the future, once the bank wants to clean up its non-performing assets, this photolithography machine will definitely be put on the foreclosure market.
Moreover, it is impossible for this photolithography machine to wait until the technology is completely outdated before proceeding with the foreclosure.
If my guess is correct, Su An is definitely not the only company or individual who is concerned about this lithography machine.
Su An is just a little person hiding in the corner.
We can only hope that this photolithography machine will enter the legal auction process as soon as possible.
But for those big shots with energy, the first thing they do is to contact the other company to see if they can buy this lithography machine from them.
The worst case scenario is that when you buy this lithography machine, you can help the company repay part of the bank loan, thereby freeing the lithography machine from the pledge.
Even, these big shots will grab it with both hands.
On the one hand, we conduct business negotiations openly with the other party's company.
On the other hand, they will start from the bank's system, hoping that the other party will put this lithography machine into foreclosure proceedings as soon as possible.
In 2022, the 7-nanometer process is not absolutely leading.
TSMC's 5nm has already been mass-produced, and even 3nm has completed most of the technical research.
But 7nm is still the top technology in China.
If it is kept in a bank warehouse like this, it will be a waste of money.
At this time, as the only 7-nanometer lithography machine in China, naturally the sooner it is put into work, the more its value will be reflected.
If the other party starts mass production of even two nanometers or even one nanometer, what will be the use of getting this 7-nanometer photolithography machine by then?
Moreover, domestically produced photolithography machines have also reached the 28nm process.
By then, in two years, once 14nm is conquered.
Then we can concentrate all resources to move towards 7 nanometers.
Once 7nm achieves domestic independent production, this lithography machine stored in a bank warehouse will no longer be a treasure that people miss.
As a bank, we purely consider the market economy.
You should also understand when this lithography machine is most valuable.
If you want to auction off this lithography machine to repay the loan that the other party cannot repay, the most appropriate time is immediately.
The longer time passes, the more the machine will depreciate in value.
At that time, if the machine fails to sell for a high price, the bank will have no other assets and will conduct an auction to recover the capital.
There will definitely be a big hole left in the account by then.
As the person in charge of the bank, he must find a way to plug this hole, otherwise it will be dereliction of duty on his part.
In order to keep your job, perhaps selling it early is the best strategy.
Moreover, when selling this lithography machine, as long as the buyer is one of his own, not only will the president not be made things difficult by his superiors, but someone will secretly give him a thumbs up.
This kind of good thing that kills two birds with one stone cannot be encountered at any time.
Su An had this idea and felt that instead of being bought by Huawei in 2022, this 7-nanometer lithography machine would have been snatched away by him in 2002.
Using the 7nm process to achieve crushing whipping, and the current 90nm friends, just thinking about it makes people feel full of fun.
If you can rely on advanced technology to dominate the consumer market and form a complete monopoly.
Even if it is boycotted by foreign countries, at most it will not be included in their financial purchases.
The private consumer market will not disappear just now.
For consumers, for the same money, would they rather buy a single-core Pentium 4 or a four-core, eight-thread i7?
Are you willing to continue playing CS with the current hardware system, or spend the same money to buy a high-end i7 plus 1080 graphics card to play chicken fighting!
It's clear to consumers that their money is not at the mercy of politicians.
Let them spend the same money to buy seriously backward electronic products, and these people will not take advantage of them obediently.
By then, even if Intel and AMD do not collapse, at most they will only be able to accept funding budgets from various national finances.
Even if we get to this point, even if the Western world uses its financial budget to support Intel and AMD.
However, when a country spends a huge amount of taxpayers' financial budget to purchase a bunch of seriously backward electronic products.
Those who pay taxes may not be happy to see this happen.
Thinking of all this, and even the possibility that she might be boycotted by the whole world in the future, Su An had to stop this overly idealistic fantasy.
Even if this set of lithography machines enters the foreclosure process, facing competition from many domestic companies, Su An must have enough chips to win the final victory.
This 7-nanometer lithography machine is worth 1 billion yuan.
Even if it is a second-hand product, even if it is put into foreclosure proceedings by the bank.
By then, under the competition from many companies, this lithography machine is likely to reach a high price.
If I want to compete for this lithography machine, I need to have at least 3 billion in hand to be able to compete with these big guys.
However, even if this photolithography machine is successfully purchased from 2022 back to 2002.
For this photolithography machine to play its role, Su An needs at least 10 billion.
Ignoring the supporting industrial chain for the time being, it would cost at least 5 billion to build a new dust-free factory with the most stringent standards for this photolithography machine.
Dust invisible to the naked eye can seriously affect product yield.
If you want to build the same dust-free factory in 2022, don't even think about it without $3 billion.
Fortunately, in 2002, both land prices, construction materials, and final labor costs were far less than in 2022.
But even so, if I want to enter the chip industry, I conservatively estimate that I will have more than 15 billion yuan in hand.
Nowadays, even earning 4 million secretly feels a bit out of reach.
And wanting to earn 15 billion is simply more difficult than reaching the sky.
If the timeline is extended, let alone 15 billion, even 150 billion, it is just a trivial matter.
But the problem is that this 7-nanometer process lithography machine is at most 10 years ahead of its opponent.
In addition, once science and technology that leads them appears on the market.
Both Intel and AMD will definitely increase investment in active research and development responses.
I believe that in this time and space, the advent of 7 nanometers will definitely be faster than in the previous time and space.
Even if I have 15 billion in my hands now, even if I successfully purchased this photolithography machine in 2003.
Excluding the time it takes to build a new factory and lay out the industrial chain, the opportunity left for you to strangle your opponents in the market is only 5 years.
However, I don’t have that much money in my hands now.
"It turns out that serving the country and the people is such a stressful thing!" Su An did not want to waste this opportunity for rebirth. In addition to changing his own destiny, he also changed the domestic chip industry.
But after some calculations, I found that such a huge amount of money really made people feel desperate.
Looking back at the history of the country, when the country suffered and was oppressed by others.
When I think of those predecessors who were willing to sacrifice everything and even their lives for the country and the people.
In addition to feeling inferior, Su An also seemed to have some more motivation in her heart.
"Let's make money quickly!" Su An took back her thoughts and put her eyes back on the current environment.
The company's application registration process will be completed before the National Day holiday.
After returning from the National Day holiday, Su An will start the recruitment process.
However, before that, Su An needs to find an office location in Zhongguancun.
A small matter like renting a house is not a problem at all as long as you have money.
At a price of 200,000 per year, I rented a three-story office building on the edge of Zhongguancun.
After signing the rental contract, when Su An was ready to return to school from Zhongguancun, it was already 5:30 pm!
And this time is exactly when school is over.
After the dormitory students had a short rest after dinner, there were two self-study classes in the evening.
As for day students, there is no need to attend self-study classes.
However, in today's 02 animation class, all the boarding students did not go to the school cafeteria.
Everyone went to KFC in great numbers.
"Order food, order food...we want 34...
Wrong, it's 35 family buckets." Wang Meng did not forget about Su An. If he didn't bring a portion to the treater, it would be a bit unreasonable.
To be continued...
