A few hours later, the first batch of products came off the production line. After passing the tests, several qualified products were placed in front of Lu Feng. These thumb-sized pieces on his desk looked so small, yet they had taken so much effort to produce.
"What is the yield rate?" Lu Feng asked the person in charge.
"A little over forty percent," the other party said cautiously.
"This is too low. Is there a problem with some parameter in some part?" Liu Cheng asked, somewhat incredulous.
"This still needs to be adjusted gradually."
Lu Feng picked up the chips and examined them for a while before saying, "We need to improve the yield rate. We should have the engineering team take turns staying here to address any problems immediately. The current yield rate is too low; it must be raised to over 90%, or even over 95%. What are our chip patent fees now?"
“It’s about ten US dollars per product!” Liu Cheng said from the side. “I don’t think we need to pay the patent fee in the short term, unless we’re exporting overseas. Otherwise, they’ll have no choice but to sue.”
"When these products are being supplied to mobile phone manufacturers, remember to keep good accounts. This factory belongs to the R&D company, and all income and expenditure accounts are also your responsibility," Lu Feng instructed. "This is a breakthrough. Have them prepare a banquet tonight to celebrate."
In the afternoon, Lu Feng had just finished a meeting when a clerk came over and whispered, "Mr. Lu, you have a phone call."
"Whose?" Lu Feng asked casually.
"He's from Hong Kong, his name is Feng Zhiyao."
Lu Feng paused for a moment, then said, "Okay, give me the phone."
After taking the phone, Lu Feng greeted the others and walked towards a secluded corner, dialing the number back as he went.
After the call connected, Lu Feng said into the phone, "Zhiyao, where are you now? How are things going with President Su's arrangements for you?"
“I’m fine now, in a villa. Mr. Su gave me your number today. I sold my old phone because I was desperate, and I can’t find your number. I’m sorry to bother you, Brother Feng. I’m calling you today because I want to tell you something.” Feng Zhiyao paused for a moment and said, “My dad has passed away.”
Lu Feng didn't react much to Mr. Feng's passing, which was expected. However, he suddenly felt that Feng Zhiyao's voice had lost much of its naivety and was full of composure.
"Please accept my condolences. Take care of yourself. Does anyone outside know about this?" Lu Feng asked.
“Nobody knows. We signed a confidentiality agreement with the hospital beforehand, and the body has already been frozen.” Feng Zhiyao continued, “The agreement we signed with Feng Zhicheng beforehand is in the old house, and he should have already gotten his hands on it.”
"Don't worry about this. I'll be there in the next few days. What's yours will be yours no matter what. Just make sure you stay safe," Lu Feng instructed.
During the phone call, Lu Feng asked Feng Zhiyao a few more questions, and Feng Zhiyao was more restrained, no longer blurting things out like before.
A man's growth is rapid, without specific stages; it can happen in just a few minutes. When stimulated by the outside world, he can quickly transform from a boy into a man.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Feng went to a few more meetings. In the past two days, the machines have been adjusted, and the yield rate has increased to more than 80%. Liu Cheng has mobilized several engineering teams and is constantly communicating with overseas engineers. It should be no problem to increase the yield rate to about 95% within a month.
Jiafeng did not announce its chip production to the public, but there are no secrets that can be kept forever. Jiafeng's mobile phone channels have all received relevant information and will supply the market this year. The most crucial link in the mobile phone market has been breached, which means that the high prices will no longer exist.
Furthermore, some people have privately revealed that Jiafeng wholesales its chips to the open market and will mass-produce more types of chips, more sophisticated motherboards, and memory devices next year.
Jiafeng possesses world-class technology in storage devices, including computer memory modules and mobile phone memory cards.
In this area, Jiafeng is already in a competitive situation with international giants such as Sony and Toshiba. Jiafeng's rapid development in this area is mainly due to the engineering team they poached.
Currently, Jiafeng has the largest technological reserves in storage in China, with professional teams in VCD patents, DVD domestic patents (which are disputed), computer storage, and mobile phone storage.
With production underway, the sales department has begun contacting domestic computer manufacturers, hoping to supply them with products, while also laying the groundwork for the wholesale and retail market.
If Jiafeng is fiercely competing with a host of top players in the home appliance industry, then it is absolutely unrivaled in the fields of chips, storage, motherboards, and communications.
News of Jiafeng's mass production of communication chips quickly reached the United States, and various parties had different reactions to it. The atmosphere in a luxurious conference room on Wall Street was somewhat tense, with a dozen people sitting there looking rather cramped, including Watanabe Shi.
As the conference room door opened, a bald man walked in, sat down, and asked, "What's going on with Jiafeng Group? What does your strategy department do? What are you busy with every day?"
Watanabe Shi said with a forced smile, "Our work has been quite effective recently. Under our pressure, Toshiba has submitted some technical patents and reached an agreement with Intel. In terms of the global market, we are making rapid progress, and Samsung's semiconductor market share is also rising. This company is currently controlled by Wall Street."
"Are you trying to take credit with me? Isn't this part of your job?" The bald man frowned, slammed the folder he was holding onto the table, and scolded, "This is no small matter. Where did they get their lithography machine? Where did the communication chips used to produce the mobile phones come from? We still don't know!"
