Chapter 525 Apple's Status (Second)
Generally speaking, different production capacities require different production lines.

And changing the manufacturing process of the production line is almost equivalent to dismantling the original production line and reloading the new production line, which is not usually laborious and expensive.

Otherwise, TSMC will not be in the dilemma of a surplus of 28nm and a serious shortage of 16nm this year.

Of course, next year TSMC may become a surplus of 16nm, and a surplus of 28nm...

No way, facing the strong impact of mortal semiconductors, it is difficult for TSMC to survive!
Therefore, how to accurately grasp the market demand of different manufacturing processes, so as to arrange the production capacity of different manufacturing processes at the beginning, is very important and very difficult for wafer giants.

After all, the market is changing rapidly, and no one can guarantee what will happen tomorrow.

Even mortal semiconductors, even Wang Fan, can't tell what will happen tomorrow?

It has to be admitted that the future is the most mysterious existence.

However, with the intelligent adjustment technology of mortal semiconductors, everything will be completely different.

The production lines of different processes and the production capacity of different processes can be switched at any time according to the market demand and according to the time node, so as to make overall plans.

"When the production capacity of 14nm is insufficient, some 20nm or even 28nm production lines will be adjusted to 14nm process. When the 14nm process is surplus, some excess can also be taken out to supplement 20nm and 28nm. It can be said that in the future The production line of mortal semiconductors will be invincible, and the distribution of production capacity will be almost perfect without any problems!"

Cook couldn't help but sighed, feeling more and more worthwhile and deserved to put all the bets on Mortal Semiconductor this time.

Even Cook felt that the aggrieved by this, the benefits given up for this, and even the losses caused by this were all due and worthwhile.

On the other side, MediaTek chairman Cai Mingjie was even more happy from ear to ear, and quickly said: "Wang Dong, don't worry. Everything is as you said, and MediaTek will pay liquidated damages. Within three days, all current chip production , all transferred to Mortal Semiconductor!"

Wang Fan nodded in satisfaction. He was quite optimistic about Cai Mingjie's approach.

Although Wang Fan blocked all Taiwanese companies at the beginning, he was also planning to use MediaTek to take the knife, but now that MediaTek is so sensible, it can also become a sharp knife to attack TSMC, so why not do it?

It is much better for MediaTek to attack TSMC than to join hands with MediaTek and TSMC to fight against mortal semiconductors!

In the end, Cook couldn't help asking: "Dr. Wang, Apple will transfer all orders to Mortal Semiconductor as soon as possible. May I ask, can Mortal Semiconductor give Apple the highest priority production capacity and the best treatment!"

Hearing this, Cai Mingjie, chairman of MediaTek, was not surprised at all.

An existence like Apple, there, has special rights, extraordinary bargaining power, and can enjoy treatment that other companies can't even imagine.

Even the former semiconductor giant TSMC has to give priority to satisfying Apple, even at the expense of its own interests.

Even Foxconn, the leading OEM, has to give Apple extremely low prices and sufficient priority production capacity...

But Wang Fan shook his head: "I'm sorry, Mr. Cook. Huawei HiSilicon is the first strategic partner to support Mortal Semiconductor. As long as Huawei is still in the Mortal Semiconductor camp, Mortal Semiconductor's highest priority production capacity is the highest priority. Good treatment will be given to Huawei. After that, everything else will come!"

Cook frowned slightly, surprised and a little angry at this result.

But he also understands that Mortal Technology is different from other companies, and Wang Fan is also very different from other bigwigs, and has always been the master of one thing.

And Apple, it is true that they did not immediately stand in the position of Mortal Semiconductor, and did not firmly support Mortal Semiconductor.

Such a result is a matter of course, but for a while, Cook was a little uncomfortable.

After all, from beginning to end, whether facing Samsung or TSMC, Apple can always force the other party to give them quite favorable treatment.

It's just that when it came to Mortal Semiconductor, another accident happened.

But Cook didn't dare to turn against Wang Fan, even so.

So Cook nodded helplessly: "I understand, Wang Dong, Apple will always be a firm ally of Mortal Semiconductor in the future, and we will advance and retreat together!"

Faced with Cook's almost vowed statement, Wang Fan smiled slightly. Although he didn't know how much water was in it, it didn't matter.

Therefore, Wang Fan also replied: "Don't worry, even so, there is no problem with Apple's large chip orders. A one-year order can be fully delivered within 8 months at most."

Hearing this, Cook breathed a sigh of relief, and his face looked much better.

Eight months, although it is a little longer than Huawei's six months, is also very good, after all, Apple is bigger.

If it is changed to TSMC, it will be impossible to do it in 8 months.

Finally, Wang Fan looked at MediaTek Chairman Cai Mingjie, who was hesitant to speak, and knew that the other party wanted to ask about MediaTek's production capacity, but he was embarrassed or dared not speak up.

So Wang Fan said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Cai. Like MediaTek, it's also 8 months!"

"Thank you, Mr. Wang, thank you!" Cai Mingjie was flattered and beamed with joy.

It is already very rare to be able to get enough of the most advanced 14nm technology, not to mention the same treatment as Apple, it is really a surprise!

But Cook's expression was a little uneasy.

It turns out that in Wang Fan's heart, Apple's status is the same as that of MediaTek!

This is so fucking stupid!

Cook cursed inwardly, but then smiled helplessly.

It turns out that in Wang Fan's heart, the mighty apple seems to be really worthless!

This cruel reality made Cook feel aggrieved and helpless!

Wang Fan saw the change in the expressions of the two, smiled slightly, and said calmly: "It's noon, let's go, go to eat."

Cai Mingjie turned around and looked at the Mortal Fab No. [-] behind him, and at the intelligent production line, feeling very reluctant.

You know, it's only been less than an hour, and the mystery of the mortal wafer factory has only seen the tip of the iceberg!
Leaving now, I really don't know when I can come back, I really don't want to give up!

Similarly, Cook beside him thought the same way.

Such an opportunity is very rare, and it may even never exist in the future.

So if you just give up like this, it is really unacceptable.

So the smart Cook said tactfully: "Wang Dong, I want to experience the cafeteria of Mortal Fab One. I wonder if Wang Dong can do it?"

Cai Mingjie's eyes lit up, and he instantly understood Cook's plan, and sighed secretly in his heart: High, indeed high, it's no wonder that he is the chairman of Apple!

Then, Cai Mingjie quickly echoed: "Yes, yes, Mr. Wang, I am tired of eating too many delicacies from mountains and seas, and it is far less real than coming from the cafeteria. We all came here like this, and we must not forget our roots!"
