Rebirth of the World’s Richest Man

Chapter 3501 Headache

 In fact, Jiang Xiaobai's planned inspection at Hualian Wafer Factory is only one day, while Liu Xiaomei is still waiting to go to Yaohan Supermarket overseas for inspection.

 But yesterday, Ni Guangnan said that he still had something to report today, and there was also a day of meetings scheduled on his schedule.

If this was in other places, Jiang Xiaobai would definitely ask what the matter was. If it wasn't something important, Jiang Xiaobai might have declined.

But Ni Guangnan has this face. No matter whether there is anything important or not, since Ni Guangnan has brought it up, Jiang Xiaobai will definitely not refute Ni Guangnan's face.

 As a result, Ni Guangnan's mental state is so bad now that he looks like he hasn't slept all night.

So Jiang Xiaobai gave me a few more words of advice. If there is nothing urgent, if there is something that is not urgent, you can wait until the end of the year to report it.

 But Ni Guangnan insisted, saying that he was fine.

This is not a matter of just one sentence to build a wafer fab in the mainland. This does not mean that a small factory with about ten or eight people can just find a place and get a piece of land and start construction.

 Even saying that you can just find a dilapidated factory, clean it up and start working.

And it’s not tens of thousands of yuan, or millions or tens of millions. Jiang Xiaobai nodded in the morning, the money would be in place in the afternoon, and work could start in the evening.

 This is a project worth billions, even tens of billions, or even tens of billions. If it were replaced by other companies, this would basically be a dream, and it would be impossible to come up with this amount of money.

 For Huaqing Holding Group, this is not a small amount of money. It needs to integrate the profits of the whole year, comprehensively consider it, and hold meetings to study it.

This is also why, in some units, they suddenly spend money at the end of the year, just because they are afraid that the money will not be spent at the end of the year, and then the allocation for the next year will be less.

The same goes for Hualian Computer. Report the plan to build a wafer fab in advance. If Jiang Xiaobai agrees and thinks about it, he may consider it in advance.

 Plan this matter into the group's major strategic plan for next year, reserve funds in advance, and cut off some unimportant projects.

So this kind of thing must be reported earlier if it can be reported earlier. The sooner the report is made, the better.

Jiang Xiaobai drank tea and waited for Ni Guangnan's next words.

Ni Guangnan did not beat around the bush and said straight to the point: "Director Jiang, we want to build a new wafer fab in the mainland."

Jiang Xiaobai's eyes widened immediately. He built a new wafer fab. The previous wafer fab in Xiangjiang had cost so much money to build.

It also received a loan from Huahua Bank and support from Huaqing Holding Group.

That's because we happened to encounter the financial crisis of 1997. The Garden Country was ravaged by the financial crisis, and the economy as a whole was in a state of depression or collapse.

He also asked the Lin family to come forward to help. It can be said that it took all the efforts of nine cows and two tigers to get this wafer fab. How many years have passed now, and a new wafer fab needs to be built.

“Director Jiang, there are three reasons why we want to build a wafer fab. This is our research report, please take a look at it, Director Jiang.” Ni Guangnan said, and asked someone to hand a copy of the information to Jiang Xiaobai, and introduced it to Jiang Xiaobai at the same time.

"First of all, there is the issue of water resources. Xiangjiang is a water-scarce city, and our chip production requires a large amount of ultrapure water for flushing when semi-finished products are packaged. Ordinary tap water needs to be purified into ultrapure water. , there is a lot of consumption in the process..."

"The second problem is the clean workshop. After the clean workshop is built, it can only be upgraded, not transformed. If we want to expand production, we need to build a new clean workshop. If we want to rebuild the original factory, it will affect the existing ones. Production in clean workshops…”

"The last thing is the necessity of capacity expansion. Now internationally, the chip market is continuing to expand. With the market demand for chips, our orders are also constantly expanding. Nowadays, various electronic products etc. all require the use of chips.

Many domestic companies are also ordering chips from us. I estimate that market demand will increase in the next step, and the construction cycle of a chip is not short, so if you want to take on this part of the business, you must prepare for construction now. Well, this kind of thing should happen sooner rather than later..."

Ni Guangnan reported one by one, and the reasons for each one were very sufficient, from production needs to market necessity. Anyway, according to Ni Guangnan, this chip project must be launched, and it must be launched immediately.

 But in fact, Jiang Xiaobai has no money for this chip project.

After Ni Guangnan finished his report, the other two vice presidents, the director and deputy director of the wafer fab, and others also gave additional explanations. Finally, Jiang Xiaobai asked: "How much does this fab cost approximately?"

“Director Jiang, we haven’t made any plans in this area yet. Some of the designs for this wafer fab cost tens of billions of dollars, and some cost more than two billion dollars. This...this..."

Ni Guangnan said and finally glanced at Jiang Xiaobai with some hesitation: "The size of this plan mainly depends on how much money the group can spend. If possible, of course it will be done at once, and it will go directly to tens of billions of dollars..."

"Stop, stop, stop." Jiang Xiaobai interrupted Ni Guangnan before he could finish his words: "Let me go back and take a look at this matter before we talk about it. You have made it very clear about the necessity of building a wafer fab in the mainland. However, the group also has its own difficulties, and this still needs to be considered based on the actual situation.”

 Jiang Xiaobai said with a headache. Speaking of wafer fabs, one should indeed be built in the mainland. This is appropriate both from the perspective of the future market and the necessary conditions for chip production.

 And in terms of safety, it is much better to stay in the mainland, but no matter what the reason is, the only problem is money.

Huaqing Holding Group makes a lot of profits every year, but there are also many places to spend money. Each of its subsidiaries has been expanding rapidly in the past two years.

This company has a big business and has more places to spend money. It is not an easy task for Huaqing Holding Group to spend billions or tens of billions of dollars at once.

 So although the reason was very good, Jiang Xiaobai did not dare to agree immediately.

"I understand Director Jiang." Ni Guangnan didn't feel any loss at all. On the contrary, he breathed a sigh of relief. Their goal was just that Jiang Xiaobai didn't veto it immediately.

 As to whether this project can be approved, it depends on the specific circumstances.
