Chapter 437: Stop guessing, we are developing wafers!

5 month 20 day,

A report that attracted widespread attention was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

The title is eye-catching: "Future Technology Group is suspected of developing wafers!!!"

The report was accompanied by a large number of pictures and evidence, and the shocking news quickly spread on domestic and international networks.

The article states: "Recently, Future Technology Group has been purchasing large quantities of high-purity quartz sand. Some people may not be clear about the relationship between quartz sand and wafers.

Isn't it just a stone?

This stone is not used for construction, but is the original material of monocrystalline silicon.

After high-purity silica sand is smelted, the silica sand and graphite are heated to a high temperature in an electric arc furnace to undergo a reduction reaction to obtain metallic silicon.

The metallic silicon is then freed of impurities and purified again to become the raw material for the finished product.

Finally, by using technologies such as the Western method or the float zone method, the high-purity silicon is melted and gradually cooled to crystallize into a single crystal, which is single crystal silicon.

After single crystal silicon is cut and machined, it becomes a wafer, the raw material for chips!!!"

In the picture, there are many transport vehicles transporting quartz sand. Some of the sand was dropped on the road and was photographed by someone who has been paying attention to the Future Technology Group.

As soon as this report came out, it quickly spread and was reprinted on various portals, and netizens discussed it hotly.

Many netizens expressed surprise and even doubt that after experiencing the dilemma of chip shortage, Future Technology Group actually began to get involved in wafer research and development. Does this change mean that the company is trying to save itself, or is it just an unrealistic fantasy?

Is it still too late at this time?

How many years does it take from wafer to chip research and development?!

Not to mention the risks in between.

Besides, how to solve the problem of lithography machines?

No netizens are optimistic about Future Technology Group.

This is very realistic.

"Is this true? Future Technology Group is actually developing wafers? This is shocking!" A netizen excitedly posted on Twitter, which immediately attracted many likes and reposts.

Domestic netizens expressed mixed emotions. Some expressed support for the company, believing it was a positive move worth looking forward to.

Some people also expressed doubts about this, wondering whether Future Technology Group has sufficient capabilities and resources to achieve this goal in the current technological environment.

"I'm dying of laughter. Does Future Technology Group think it can reverse its decline simply by relying on R&D enthusiasm?

Not to mention the difficulty of chip development, even wafers aren't that easy to make! Another netizen, "Tech Maniac," mocked the issue in the comments section with sharp words that resonated with many people.

"I support Future Technology Group's independent chip research and development. Although the process is long and there is a high probability of failure, this courage is worth encouraging.

If we don't do this, we will still be restricted by foreigners in the future. I guess even Hao Qiang will be unable to swallow this anger!" One netizen refuted the netizen "Tech Maniac", which also received support and likes from many netizens.

There are constant doubts from the outside world, and some people even suspect whether this is just a marketing gimmick, an attempt to save the company from its predicament by creating topics.

Some media pointed out that Future Technology Group suffered a heavy blow in chip procurement and turned to investing in wafer research and development. Although this move is courageous, there is still huge uncertainty as to whether it can truly achieve mass production.

Even if the wafers are mass-produced, what about the chip design software?

Not to mention, the core equipment for chip manufacturing - the photolithography machine!

This kind of high-end equipment cannot be bought with money.

Since the United States is unwilling to sell automotive chips to Future Technology Group, it obviously will not allow other companies to sell lithography machines to it.

All this has caused the outside world to be full of doubts and concerns about the prospects of Future Technology Group.

With the release of this report, public attention has rapidly increased, and more people have begun to think about the future of domestic chips.

Will the research and development of wafers really become a turning point for the country's semiconductor industry?

The chip issue has always been a hot topic and pain point in the country's scientific and technological development, and the technological blockade by international giants is even more of a thorn in the side.

There has been heated discussion on social media, with many people expressing concern about the prospects of Future Technology Group, believing that courage and determination alone are far from enough.

Even Mr. Liu from a certain company was interviewed. When talking about the research and development of wafers and chips by Future Technology Group, he said: "Every link in the chip design, manufacturing, testing and other links is crucial. Without the corresponding technical support, it is impossible to develop it.

If it were that easy to develop, our company would have done it long ago."

Many Chinese people scoffed at Mr. Liu’s report: “Just because you can’t do it doesn’t mean Future Technology Group can’t do it!

Besides, you don’t want to do it at all!

Relying on national enthusiasm to promote products, but not investing profits in the semiconductor field, and even hindering the development of other peers, is this any different from selling out the country!

Many netizens agree with this evaluation. Just sell the product and don’t involve it with the pride of domestic products and the hope of national chips.

In the end, all they did was market assembled machines, and they were not willing to spend money on research and development.

It would be better to give way and let colleagues who are interested in scientific research do it.

The chip incident at that time was like a haze hanging over the hearts of some people, making it difficult for them to let go.

Many citizens are not aware of this, but after being reminded, it seems to be true.

Despite heated discussions outside, Hao Qiang simply smiled faintly after learning about the news report.

External speculation and doubts will not affect his decision-making.

Those who think that Future Technology Group is just going through the motions have no idea of ​​the real progress it has.

"We've already learned to run the first step you're thinking of," he muttered to himself. "Now all we need is that EBL lithography machine. Otherwise, we would have already taken off."

Over the next two days,

The media continues to focus on Future Technology Group's progress in wafer research and development, and the public's heated discussion seems to have not subsided yet.

Although Future Technology Group has spared no effort in technological innovation, the vast majority of the public is pessimistic about the company's prospects, and many experts have also expressed their views, expressing lack of confidence in its success.

The road to chips,

It’s hard to reach the sky!

Such arguments frequently appear on social media and news comment sections, as if they have become a general consensus on Future Technology Group.

Foreign media also bluntly questioned the capabilities of Future Technology Group: "Even if Future Technology Group has made some progress in a certain field of technology, it will still be difficult to gain a foothold in the global high-end chip market.

Not to mention Future Technology Group, even if Huaguo were given another hundred years, they wouldn’t be able to produce high-end chips.”

A well-known European technology website mentioned in its article: "Although Future Technology Group has certain support and market foundation in China, it will face huge challenges in the global chip field.

Even if breakthroughs are achieved in wafer technology research and development, breaking down existing supply chain barriers and obtaining key materials and technical support are pressing issues to be addressed.”

Public skepticism, experts' pessimism, and foreign media's cynicism seem to be pushing Future Technology Group to a crossroads:

Either rise on the cusp of the trend and become the leader in the industry;

Or they will exit in disgrace under tremendous pressure and challenges.

Few people are optimistic about it, and the investment is doomed to fail.

5 month 25 day,

Through news reports and social media, Hao Qiang noticed that the public's heated discussion on the company's wafer research and development seemed to have formed a consensus, and it seemed that the company had acquiesced to the facts.

In fact, the recent large-scale acquisition of quartz sand and transportation resources has attracted widespread attention from people in the industry, and it is indeed impossible to conceal it from those who are interested.

Faced with this situation, Hao Qiang decided not to hide it anymore and boldly announced to the media: "Don't speculate blindly, our company is indeed developing wafers!"

However, he did not reveal the specific progress, leaving them to guess.

As soon as this news was released, it immediately caused an uproar.

The media reprinted the news with a provocative headline: "Hao Qiang officially confirmed: Wafer research and development is underway!"

The heat of public opinion soared instantly.

On social media, public reactions were polarized.

On the one hand, a small number of people expressed their admiration for Future Technology Group's courage, leaving comments saying: "Finally, a company has dared to challenge the high-end chip field!

Support Future Technology Group! "

On the other hand, most netizens remain skeptical, with the comment section filled with questioning voices: "Where is the real technological breakthrough? Achieving 8N wafer purity is considered a success."

at night,

Hao Qiang returned home, put aside all distractions from work, and spent time with his children.

Han Qingying noticed the online reports and asked Hao Qiang out of concern: "Brother Qiang, so many people on the Internet are not optimistic about the company's wafer research and development.

But what they don’t know is that you have already developed it.

If this news were to be exposed, these people would definitely be humiliated.”

Even high school classmates were discussing this matter and expressed shock at Hao Qiang's chip development.

They couldn't imagine that Hao Qiang had already reached this point in scientific research.

Hao Qiang said with a smile: "Without the successful development of lithography machines, we will never be able to get rid of the dilemma of having no chips available. We should not be too happy too early."

"Well, these Americans are so despicable and shameless."

"So, that's why I don't allow you to go abroad. If you really go abroad, it's hard to say whether you can come back."

"Well, I haven't played it all in China yet. Besides, I have no interest in going abroad." Han Qingying smiled.

In the next few days,

The nation's enthusiasm for wafer research and development has gradually waned, and public attention seems to have shifted to another highly anticipated event - the upcoming launch of Renjian Fireworks.

In the past one or two months, the company and investment banks have conducted active roadshows, attracting the attention and expectations of many investors.

At present, Renjian Fireworks has 235 stores across the country, its business is expanding rapidly, and its market recognition remains strong.

According to the latest valuation, the company's current market capitalization is approximately 390 billion yuan, which is an impressive amount.

According to the prospectus, the company plans to raise 125 billion yuan, accounting for approximately 25% of the shares, and plans to issue 12.5 billion shares.

Although the issue price has not yet been finalized, this critical moment is approaching.

Investment banks and company teams are working intensively to analyze market feedback and investor demand in order to determine a reasonable issue price.

In the market, discussions about the mundane world gradually heated up, with various voices intertwined to create a lively scene.

Every company he opens is a success and is owned by Hao Qiang.

On social media, many potential investors actively discussed the future prospects of Renjian Fireworks.

Someone pointed out: "Renjian Fireworks' brand positioning is very consistent with market demand. I believe it will perform well after its launch and continue to be a hit."

Others expressed doubts about whether the fireworks industry could maintain a high growth rate, and the comments section showed a mixture of anticipation and anxiety about the future.

Many investors are pessimistic about the stock, but are actually secretly inquiring about the issue price to see if they can buy more.

Ultimately, it’s because they’re afraid of not being able to subscribe.

After subscription, you still need to draw lots.

Only if you win the lottery can you get a certain share of the stock.

Meanwhile, financial analysts are closely watching the developments of this IPO.

According to reliable sources, the subscription ratio has reached 5:1, which is already quite popular.

Of course, this subscription ratio is based on the issue price of HK$12.

If the final issue price is too high, the final subscription will definitely be much lower.

No matter how,

Some experts have published articles pointing out that if Renjian Fireworks can be successfully listed, it will help promote the development of the entire catering industry and bring more investment opportunities.

In such a market atmosphere, investors' enthusiasm and expectations are intertwined as they await the arrival of this grand listing ceremony.

As the day approaches, all eyes are on the issue price to be announced on June 1 and future market performance.
