The road to entrepreneurship is destined not to be smooth, only those who are not afraid of hardships and dangers can finally go smoothly. For Zhou Zhanbo, chairman of Nibo Microelectronics, no matter what kind of cliffs he will encounter on this road, he will always adhere to the original intention of making domestic chips bigger and stronger, and will never achieve his ideal of serving the country by industry. Give up.

From the beginning as a single product agent, to the development of a high-tech enterprise specializing in the design, production and sales of semiconductor power devices, Lieber Microelectronics has experienced more than ten years of experience. Today, Zhou Zhanbo moved the main battlefield to Foshan, and joined hands with the Foshan Guanggong University Research Institute, vowing to become a bigger and stronger "Foshan Core".

Zhou Zhanbo, a salesperson, worked in Taiwan's Nexen Microelectronics Company in his early years. Because of his keen market observation, he and a group of colleagues set up a business in Shenzhen in 2005, providing power semiconductor MOSFET chip supply for various machinery, electronics, vehicles and other companies.

With the growth of the company and the increase in customer demand, Nibo Microelectronics has gradually developed from the beginning as a single product agent to a high-tech enterprise specializing in the design, production and sales of semiconductor power devices. In Zhou Zhanbo's view, to overcome the "stuck neck" problem, one cannot rush for quick success and quick gain, but to allow "trial and error" to gradually approach success in the cycle of "testing, failing, and improving".

"Dong Zhou attaches great importance to the research and development of new products. In this regard, the company has invested a lot of money and personnel, and also gave us enough time for trial and error." Tang Zhixin, technical director of Nibo Microelectronics, said that we must make a new product. It often takes hundreds or even hundreds of failures. When the technical team is under tremendous pressure, Zhou Zhanbo always encourages them until they succeed in the end. Today, the company's products rely on the team of Dr. Li Long and Zhang Zheng from Beijing Institute of Technology, combining advanced IC packaging technology on the basis of optimizing the MOSFET process route, with better performance and lower cost.

Do things in a down-to-earth, sincere manner, this is true for employees and even more so for customers. Once encountered a customer returning a product, Zhou Zhanbo did not refuse or evade responsibility, but responded quickly and re-designed the recycled product to satisfy the customer. This time and again, not only did not make any money, but also assumed a huge investment in the improvement process. "We are willing to bear the losses, and do a good job in improving products and services. Having a good reputation and good reputation is the priceless treasure of an enterprise." Zhou Zhanbo said.

Today, Zhou Zhanbo's persistence has finally won the recognition of the market and customers. "For many years, the products supplied by their company have made us very satisfied in terms of quality, delivery, after-sales service and other aspects. These details also reflect that their company has strict, precise and effective internal management." Zhejiang Dongfang Electromechanical Import and Export Co., Ltd. General Manager Zhang Yu said.

At present, Lieber Microelectronics' main products include three series of MOSFETs, IGBTs, and motor-driven MCUs with more than 300 varieties. The annual production capacity is 4.8 billion yuan. They are widely used in electric vehicles, industrial control, automotive electronics, household appliances, consumer electronics, etc. In the field, especially in the field of motor controllers, it has a higher market share. Major customers include well-known companies such as Midea Group, DJI Innovation, Lenovo, TTI (Hong Kong), etc. The output value is expected to exceed 100 million yuan in the next three years.

 

         Enterprise recommendation, settled in Foshan in half a month

In recent years, Foshan’s industrial economy has developed rapidly. From January to November 2020, this "manufacturing city" will complete an industrial added value above designated size of 435.6 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 1%, and the cumulative growth rate has achieved positive growth, especially for electronics The manufacturing industry is well-known at home and abroad. Due to the clustering effect of the industry, more electronic, electrical and industrial equipment companies will settle and expand in Foshan in the future.

Seeing Foshan's vast market environment and development opportunities, Zhou Zhanbo was eager to try this battlefield.

"I have a friend who runs a company at the research institute. He said that the policies and services here are very good. Let me come and have a look." So Zhou Zhanbo came from Shenzhen to Foshan for research and research with Foshan Guangxi University The person in charge of the hospital only had 10 minutes of communication, and the two sides hit it off and settled in within half a month.

Projects, funds, and venues are the "troika" that promotes entrepreneurship to success. Whether it's entrepreneurial projects, funds, or venues, Foshan Guanggong University Research Institute adheres to precise services to provide entrepreneurs with full escort. No, Zhou Zhanbo felt the sincerity and caring service from the research institute.

Foshan's well-known enterprise Delmar is an innovative electrical appliance brand enterprise integrating R&D, design, production and sales of household appliances in China, with annual revenue of more than 2 billion yuan; Foshan Lanjian Electronics Co., Ltd. is a well-known professional R&D and manufacturing of semiconductor devices in China Quotient. Not long after I first came to Foshan, the institute has accurately matched market resources and introduced the two companies to Nibo Microelectronics, and is currently negotiating related cooperation matters.

In addition to the existing office building, the company also needs a production and R&D base for chip conversion controllers. After learning this information, the research institute went through the park in time and freed up a 1,500 square meter space in the National Defense Center for use by Nibo Microelectronics.

Think of what the enterprise thinks, and anxious what the enterprise wants! In January of this year, the Research Institute and Shunde Rural Commercial Bank signed a strategic agreement with the intention of financing 1 billion yuan, setting up a financing bridge for enterprises in the park. At the scene, Nibo Microelectronics was supported by a loan of 10 million yuan.

 

      Exploit the Guangfo market and join hands with the research institute to strengthen "Foshan Chip''

"During the company's move-in process, the Institute provided a series of preferential policies and conveniences, and the leaders of the Institute also provided meticulous and thorough guidance to enable us to complete the company's preparation work as planned." Zhou Zhanbo praised the Institute’s services. He said that Foshan’s various infrastructures are very complete. In addition, the Foshan High-tech Zone, Nanhai District Science and Technology Bureau and other government departments at all levels have launched gazelle enterprises, manufacturing singles champion enterprises, unicorn (potential, seed) enterprise recognition projects and Supporting policies such as the "Blue Ocean Talent Program", a good business environment, and funding policies are all important reasons for him to start a business in Foshan.

At present, the supply of the chip market is tight and product sales are very strong. Many foreign chip products are out of supply, while domestic chips are very popular.

"This year will also expand the team of 100 people!" Seeing this great opportunity, Zhou Zhanbo said that next, relying on the industry chain resources of the Research Institute and the Guangdong Semiconductor Intelligent Equipment and System Integration Innovation Center, we will continue to increase the field of semiconductor chips. R&D efforts to accelerate domestic substitution; at the same time, focus on increasing the development and operation of markets in Foshan, Guangzhou and its surrounding areas in this year and next, providing electronic and electrical companies and industrial equipment companies with services such as chip development and motor drive design, and contributing to Foshan’s economic development And industrial upgrading.

"I have already bought a house in Foshan. In the future, I will put the main battlefield here and do a good job." Looking forward to the future, Zhou Zhanbo said with confidence.

 Views from employees of Nibo Microelectronics:
