City: Start A Chip Factory

Du Bo Semiconductor?

In the technology circle, almost no one has heard of this chip company.

Since I say "almost", it means that there are still a few people who know about Du Bo Semiconductor.

In addition to some supply chain related personnel of Huawei, some employees of Couliang and Aizi Technology have a certain understanding of Du Bo Semiconductor and know that it is one of the suppliers of its own mobile phone business department.

But no one among them would have thought that Du Bo Semiconductor would actually cooperate with Huawei to produce Kirin 9000, a 5-nanometer process chip.

In the impression of people in the technology circle, there are only two semiconductor companies in the world that can produce 5-nanometer manufacturing technology, namely Bay Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and Sanzang Technology [there is no possibility of a third company.

But now a third company has appeared, and it is a domestic company. You say it is evil, but it is not evil.

It is not unexpected for Du Bo that such discussions would appear in the technology circle and on the Internet.

But other employees at Du Bo Semiconductor are not calm.

In particular, Liu Xuezhen and Wei Tao specially found a few people to hold a meeting with Du Bo.

Wei Tao: "Boss, we seem to be popular. Do you want to find someone to create more momentum online?"

Liu Xuezhen: "Our marketing and external publicity department has not been established yet. We can find an advertising company or a public relations company to cooperate and take the opportunity to promote our brand."

Du Bo certainly knows what they are thinking.

Wei Tao and Liu Xuezhen are both eager to make Du Bo Semiconductor bigger and stronger.

This shows that the two of them already have a certain sense of belonging to Du Bo Semiconductor, and this feeling is even very strong.

On the other hand, for ordinary employees, the strength of a company is still critical.

Although the working conditions and remuneration of Du Bo Semiconductor are now good, it is not particularly famous yet.

Everyone wants to work for a more well-known company.

Not to mention anything else, when you get together with others, the effect you get is completely different whether the company you work for is well-known or not.

If your workplace is not well-known, others will just listen to it.

If the workplace is relatively well-known, it will be different. Others will be very interested in it. It can be used as a topic to chat and ask questions, which makes people feel very proud.

After everyone expressed their opinions, they all looked at the boss Du Bo.

Du Bo said calmly: "Don't worry, let the bullet fly for a while."

When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other.

Did the boss watch the movie and see that something was wrong?

Du Bo actually doesn’t plan to take the initiative to do anything for the time being, because the current enthusiasm about Du Bo Semiconductor on the Internet has not yet finished fermenting.

Du Bo feels that it would be better not to promote it now, but to maintain a sense of mystery.

Sure enough, within two days, a lot of news about "Du Bo Semiconductor" came out on the Internet.

On the Zhihu Forum, a post went viral.

Title: Who is behind Du Bo Semiconductor?

This post not only raises questions, but also thoroughly analyzes the mysterious company Boban Collective from various technologies, as well as pseudo-technologies, and from professional and pseudo-professional levels.

Sunset.

Anyway, after a few thousand words, the conclusion is that Du Bo Semiconductor is actually a vest company established by Bay Semiconductor in mainland China.

In other words, it is Bay Semiconductor's trumpet.

This conclusion was immediately criticized by many people.

They say that this author doesn’t know shit, and he loves to brag and talk nonsense.

Most people hold two views.

First, Bay Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is controlled by other competitors, and there is no reason to take risks to save Huawei from disaster.

Second, production line equipment that can manufacture chips below 10 nanometers is strictly controlled and cannot be shipped to the mainland of China.

To be precise, even if Bay Semiconductor really wanted to build a production line in mainland China to produce chips for Huawei, it would be unable to do so.

Without EUV lithography machines, it is impossible to make chips below 10 nanometers. This is everyone’s knowledge and is the truth.

Then some people started complaining.

This is wrong, that is wrong, then what kind of company is Du Bo Semiconductor?

It can't just pop out of the cracks in the rocks, right?

Everyone began to argue fiercely, their imaginations ran wild, and they began to make up stories.

Some say that Du Bo Semiconductor is indeed a vest company, but it is an experimental production line secretly run by Huawei Group and Zhongxin International.

Some people say that it is a company established by the domestic public sector using national resources, just to break the chip monopoly.

Anyway, there are all kinds of things to say, but there is no analysis that can convince most people.

As a result, the technology media that paid attention to this matter took action.

Du Bo Semiconductor's company phone number suddenly increased, and it kept ringing for several days, and there was a tendency of being beaten up.

Many technology media want to come over to learn about Du Bo Semiconductor and interview the boss.

Liu Xuezhen was shocked and refused them all.

If so many people come here, it's okay, it will affect the normal production and operation of the company.

Of course those media people quit and started yelling at Liu Xue on the phone.

".`You guys are keeping this secret too tightly, aren't you? It's not some state secret unit, is it?"

"Let us go over and take a look, we will be quiet and won't disturb you.

"Do you have any dark secrets?"

"You are not just a small company, are you? In fact, you are sending orders overseas, such as Bay Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd...."

"you...……."

Liu Xuezhen was driven crazy by these people and went to Du Bo to discuss it.

Liu Xuezhen: "Boss, it stands to reason that it is a good thing that we have caused such a big disturbance, but we cannot let them (Wang Qianhao) all come to the company. If that happens, we will not have to work."

Du Bo: "You're right, it's true. What do you think?"

Liu Xuezhen: "What I mean is that we hold a small press conference to answer their questions in a unified manner. This can also build momentum and publicity for us."

Du Bo laughed: "Okay, as I thought, let's do a live broadcast on the entire network!"

So Liu Xuezhen went to prepare for the press conference.

However, two days later, something unexpected happened to Du Bo.

On this day, Liu Xuezhen suddenly came to Du Bo's office and said: "Boss, Sansang wants to see you.

Du Bo was startled: "Who?"

Liu Xuezhen: "Three mournings, three mourning people from the Central Plains want to see you."

Du Bo: "What are they here for?"

Liu Xuezhen: "He said he wanted to discuss cooperation with us..."
