Chapter 3640
Su Xinghui of course wanted to leave these opportunities to those young cadres who performed well. If those cadres who mixed days in normal times were allowed to go to Baozhou, what could they learn and bring back?
Of course, the quota for this cadre exchange would not be decided so quickly. It would not be decided until the end of this year, and then cadre exchange would be officially launched with Baozhou City.
After this cadre exchange matter was settled, Su Xinghui felt a little more relaxed in his heart. By the end of the year, he would have a batch of capable people in Linshan City to use. Although this batch of people was only cadres above deputy-section-level, in the current Linshan City, it was just right to use.
Su Xinghui needed them to go to the grassroots level, bring Baozhou's work style and work experience to Linshan, and also hoped that they could influence a batch of Linshan cadres.
In October, Hanhai Technology held a press conference in Linshan City. Before this press conference was held, there was news that Hanhai Technology would release major news at this press conference. Therefore, there were many reporters participating in this press conference. Basically, the main media in the country and foreign media with reporter stations in China all sent reporters to participate in this press conference.
Since Hanhai Technology released the Hanhai first-generation mobile phone, there had been no explosive news. Even if they newly developed some technology, they were very low-key and used it on their own products silently. But this time they said there was major news to release, it must be very explosive news.
And Hanhai Technology's choice of Linshan as the location for the press conference this time was also a very intriguing signal. This should indicate that Hanhai Technology would have big moves in Linshan City.
Sure enough, Hanhai Technology released several explosive major news at the press conference in Linshan City this time.
First, Hanhai Technology would release the Hanhai second-generation mobile phone early next year. The Hanhai second-generation mobile phone would apply many new technologies, and its performance would be greatly improved. But the most shocking thing was that Hanhai Technology announced that the display screen of the Hanhai second-generation mobile phone would use domestic LCD screens, and the chip would use the Xiaoyao 701 chip designed by Hanhai Technology itself.
Hanhai Technology also announced that it would invest in the domestic LCD screen manufacturer Xuanwu Technology. They would invest 1.5 billion US dollars to hold 30% of Xuanwu Technology's equity, becoming the company's second-largest shareholder. This news was also like a thunderclap on flat ground.
Xuanwu Technology was the leading enterprise of domestic LCD screen manufacturers. They had excellent performance in LCD screen production in recent years. Through a series of investment and merger actions, they absorbed the technology of many foreign manufacturers with rich experience in LCD screen production and possessed complete downstream channels.
In the past few years, they mainly produced computer LCD screens, but in recent years, they had made huge investments in mobile phone touch screens and developed many new technologies. Therefore, their strength in mobile phone touch screens was also very strong.
And because of Hanhai Technology's uncounted investment in research and development in recent years, they possessed the most patents in the world in mobile phone touch screens. Even the touch screens they previously purchased from South Korea's Samsung Group had their costs suppressed very low because of their patent exchange.
Now Hanhai Technology cooperated with Xuanwu Technology, and their touch screens would all use touch screens produced by Xuanwu Technology. This was a huge good news for Xuanwu Technology, but for Samsung Group, it was a heavy blow.
The alliance between Xuanwu Technology and Hanhai Technology not only had more abundant funds but also could obtain various patents of Hanhai Technology in mobile phone touch screens, which allowed Xuanwu Technology to have rapid progress in touch screen technology, and it was even possible to use this event to establish their leading position in mobile phone touch screens worldwide in one fell swoop.
Of course, this also promoted other technologies of Xuanwu Technology, which would make Xuanwu Technology fly into the sky like a rocket with a third-stage booster.
Xuanwu Technology also announced on the same day that they would invest 8 billion RMB in Linshan City to build a mobile phone touch screen production base, which would be the largest introduction investment in the history of Linshan City.
However, Hanhai Technology's explosive news was not over yet.
Hanhai Technology would use their independently designed Xiaoyao 701 chip on the Hanhai second-generation mobile phone to be released next year. The performance of this chip would be more than 30% higher than the Qualcomm chip they currently use on the Hanhai first generation, and this chip was specially designed for the Hanhai series of mobile phones and the Xiaoyao operating system, and the optimization was done very well.
At this press conference, Hou Wenchang once again displayed a prototype of the Hanhai second generation. This prototype used the Xuanwu touch screen and the Xiaoyao 701 chip. Its performance was indeed very powerful, and it had excellent performance in games, video, and office work. When running several mainstream games on the market, it could basically run at full frames.
The Hanhai first-generation mobile phone had always been famous for its smoothness. Even though it had been a year and a half since its release, it had always maintained a smooth running speed. If the performance of the Hanhai second-generation mobile phone continued to have such a huge improvement, then who else could compete with it?
The Xiaoyao 701 chip would be OEM-produced by TJD, the largest semiconductor production enterprise in Taiwan, and TJD also announced that it would invest in building a semiconductor factory in Linshan City to produce various chips, and the main product would be the Xiaoyao series of chips.
At the same time, Hanhai Technology announced that it would spend 2 billion RMB to invest in Hengxing Microelectronics Co., Ltd., holding 30% of Hengxing Microelectronics' equity. This news also shocked people.
Hengxing Microelectronics was a domestic manufacturer of lithography machines. Although the lithography machines they currently produce were mainly low-end products, they had a huge gap with international leading lithography machine manufacturers in front-end products, but this was at least a beginning. As long as there was a beginning, there was hope.
Hengxing Microelectronics also announced that it would invest in building a factory in Linshan to carry out the production and technology research and development of lithography machines.
Lithography machines were the core equipment for chip production. The precision of lithography machines determined the performance of chips. China's lithography machine performance had a huge gap with foreign top manufacturers, which also determined that China's chip design and production had a huge gap with foreign countries.
Foreign countries had always used these top equipment to choke China's neck, and they would implement embargoes on China at every turn. As long as it was equipment that China could not manufacture, they would implement embargoes until China could independently produce it, and then they would lift the embargo.
Therefore, if one wanted not to be choked by those powerful countries, one must have independent manufacturing capabilities, and what Hanhai Technology was doing now was to cut off the hands that were choking the Chinese people one by one.
Of course, this process was incomparably difficult. China was equivalent to fighting against the whole world in technology research and development with its own strength. At the beginning, the process of China's research and development of the atomic bomb was arduous and extraordinary. Under the world's technological blockade, we tightened our belts and spent more than ten years finally developing the atomic bomb, making people never dare to look sideways again.
Now, under Su Xinghui's guidance, Hanhai Technology first achieved a breakthrough in smartphones, then achieved a breakthrough in touch screens, and in the future, it would achieve breakthroughs in chips, memory, etc., one by one, cutting off all the hands that were choking the Chinese people.
However, touch screens were still easier to talk about, but this lithography machine was really too difficult, because the foreign top manufacturer ASML had a really huge advantage in this regard.
How did their advantage come about? Their advantage was created by concentrating the world's top components. These top components made the precision of the products they produced very high. But the problem was that these top components were all on the embargo list against China.
This forced Hengxing Microelectronics to start research and development from scratch, starting from a very low starting point. How difficult this was, it went without saying. Fortunately, there was the cooperation of Hanhai Technology, which had deep accumulation in various technologies, which gave people hope of catching up with those powerful countries.
