As for the current global chip manufacturing process situation?
Now the most advanced chip manufacturing process has reached 14 nanometers and can be mass-produced.

In addition, according to past history, the 12-nanometer chip manufacturing process will be released next year, followed by Intel's 2017-nanometer chip manufacturing process in 10.

Daxia's chip manufacturing technology has made a huge breakthrough this year, with the chip manufacturing technology officially breaking through 28 nanometers, it can now produce 28-nanometer chips on a small scale.

But the problem is that the performance gap between this 28 nanometer chip and the most advanced 14 nanometer chip is too large.

And the most important thing is that the core equipment is all purchased from outside. Due to the shortage of core equipment, we can only achieve small-scale mass production, and there is no way to achieve large-scale mass production.

Historically, it was not until August 2023 that Zhongxin International announced the completion of large-scale production of 8nm.

It can be said that although Zhongxin International can produce 28-nanometer chips on a small scale, it has been strangled by foreign countries for several years and is unable to mass-produce them. This is the pain of having core equipment strangled by others.

If Lin Feng wants to solve the problem of domestic high-end graphics cards and computing cards, he must solve the problem of Daxia's process technology.

Moreover, the manufacturing process cannot be maintained at 28 nanometers. A major breakthrough must be made to reach 14 nanometers or 10 nanometers.

As for why we must solve the problem of domestic Daxia process technology, the reason is still the same: others will always be jealous of you doing well.

When the West realizes the importance of brain-computer interface chips, they will absolutely ban all companies from producing brain-computer interface chips on a contract basis.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng has already made arrangements for his future work tasks.

First he had to solve the problem of high-end graphics cards and computing cards.

After all, the sensitivity of graphics card chips and computing card chips is not that high now, so they can be produced by overseas chip foundry companies first.

Then, when the chip factory in Daxia can produce 14-nanometer or 10-nanometer chips, we will start our own production.

During this process, Lin Feng also has to find ways to develop an advanced chip production line to achieve independent control of the chips.

In addition, it would be better for Lin Feng to own an independent and controllable chip foundry, otherwise he would be doing things that are not convenient for others.

Because there is never a shortage of foundry orders for high-end chips, the foundry profits for high-end chips are still quite considerable.

If Xingtu Technology solves the problem of 14nm or 10nm chip production equipment, it will then sell the chip production equipment to other chip foundries.

You can only earn hard-earned money from selling production equipment, and no matter how much profit the chip foundry makes, it has nothing to do with you.

Although Lin Feng doesn't care much about money, in his eyes, money is just a bunch of numbers, big or small.

But when we build space exploration spacecraft in the future, the construction cost of the space exploration spacecraft will definitely be very high.

By then, it is possible that the construction cost of a space exploration spacecraft will reach hundreds of billions of dollars, so Lin Feng needs to prepare in advance and save some construction funds for his own space exploration spacecraft.

Therefore, Lin Feng cannot just sell the equipment to others after developing a 14nm or 10nm chip production line and then make a hard-earned profit from selling the equipment.

The most correct way is to control your own chip foundry, so that you can earn the bulk of the profits. As for how to do it?
After thinking about it, Lin Feng came up with a goal, which was Zhongxin International.

Speaking of it, Zhongxin International has a history of more than ten years since its establishment. It is a chip foundry jointly established by foreign capital and Daxia Capital.

Zhongxin International was once a glorious company, but unfortunately, its outstanding achievements made its peers uncomfortable, so they began to promote the Daxia Semiconductor threat theory.

Then Zhongxin International suffered a blow from the American empire and could no longer purchase advanced chip production equipment from abroad, and it went on the road to decline.

At its most difficult period, the market value of the entire Zhongxin International was only HK$30 billion, which can be said to be a very miserable period.

After that, the Daxia national team entered the game. After all, although Zhongxin International had a very bad market value and operating conditions, it was one of the only two large-scale chip factories in the entire Daxia. They couldn't just not save it.

So at that time, the Daxia national team bought Zhongxin International's shares from foreign companies at a low price and tried to find a way to save Zhongxin International, a chip foundry company.

We have tried hard to persuade overseas chip production personnel and scientific researchers to return to China to work, and have also provided Zhongxin International with a large amount of financial support so that Zhongxin International can continue to purchase chip production equipment and continue to develop.

After several years of development, especially after officially mastering 28 nanometers this year, Zhongxin International's market value and strength have improved compared to a few years ago.

At this time, Lin Feng wanted to own a chip foundry, and Zhongxin International was undoubtedly the best choice.

One is that Zhongxin International has more than ten years of experience in chip foundry production and has a group of mature industrial workers.

Next, Zhongxin International is not very important to Daxia, because compared to Zhongxin International, it is just a second-hand product.

Huahong, which was founded by Daxia itself, is its own son. At least when producing military or key chips, Daxia never looks for Zhongxin International, but only gives it to Huahong.

Therefore, there is actually a high probability that Lin Feng will take over the controlling stake of Zhongxin International from Daxia and own his own chip foundry.

Of course, Lin Feng would definitely not be willing to spend money to buy it directly, because the current market value of Zhongxin International is not as high as that in the previous life.

But if he wants to obtain the controlling stake in Zhongxin International, he would need to prepare at least 250 billion Xia Yuan in funds, and Lin Feng is naturally reluctant to pay out such a large amount of money.

Therefore, Lin Feng prefers to buy Zhongxin International's shares by making money out of nothing.

That is, first purchase the shares of Zhongxin International in the form of a bank loan, and then use the profit dividends earned by Zhongxin International in the future to repay the loan of Zhongxin International.

As for how to get Daxia to agree, perhaps it can be solved in the form of a betting agreement on the 10-nanometer chip process technology.

After all, if Zhongxin International, which is useless to Daxia, can be used to exchange for the 10-nanometer chip manufacturing process technology to be implemented in Daxia, Daxia will surely be excited.

After all, the benefits of advancing chip manufacturing technology to 10 nanometers are so great that the impact will be far-reaching in both civilian and military fields.

Moreover, the annual cost of importing chips has exceeded the cost of importing oil. If domestic chips can rise, wouldn’t it save a lot of money on imported chips?
Therefore, there is a high probability that Daxia will agree to let Daxia Bank loan a large sum of money to Xingtu Technology.

This will allow Xingtu Technology to have the money to acquire the controlling stake in Zhongxin International, and eventually use the future dividends from Zhongxin International to repay the loan. (End of this chapter)
