1991 Starting from the core

Ye Rudai quickly boarded the flight back to San Francisco. When she arrived at the airport, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening local time.

Fortunately, Su Yuanshan and Tang Wenjie were waiting for her.

"This is my assistant, eula."

After getting off the plane, Ye Rudai introduced a white student-looking girl next to her to Su Yuanshan and the other two, then got into the back seat of the car without saying a word, and then exhaled a long breath.

After all, she had negotiated all afternoon, followed by a nearly seven-hour flight, and she was very tired now.

"What? The negotiation didn't go well?" Su Yuanshan turned around and lay on the back seat of the passenger seat, smiling at her.

"It's okay. The other party reluctantly agreed and we will provide technical support." Ye Rudai rubbed her brows and said with a wry smile: "Is Senior Brother Zhang Xiaolong coming this time?"

"How dare he not come if you summon him?" Su Yuanshan said cheerfully.

"..." After glaring at Su Yuanshan lightly, Ye Rudai couldn't help but laugh and said: "But speaking of it, Yuanxin cannot stay out of this matter. Breaking down academic barriers is a big deal, right? eula?”

"Yes." The young assistant nodded with a measured smile, and his Mandarin was quite standard.

Su Yuanshan hummed: "You two are the initiators of this matter, so I won't participate. But if you need any help, just ask - but I have to remind you that the country seems to be a wild land, but the water in it is still It’s quite deep. And in terms of value... I don’t think domestic academic journals have much value at this stage.”

"Then the country doesn't care?" Ye Rudai raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Of course we have to take care of it, but when it comes to the domestic academic and educational circles... you know that Yuanxin has little influence in this area. - Let's wait for you to figure it out first, and we'll have a sample Then export it to domestic sales and see if we can build a new paper collection system in China."

It's not that Su Yuanshan wants to develop the HowNet for future generations, but since Ye Rudai is already involved in this area, he doesn't mind helping to promote it.

At the very least, with Yuanxin to take care of everything, the cost of plagiarism checks for future generations of students will be a little cheaper.

…

After chatting all the way to Silicon Valley, and sending the assistant back to the hotel, Tang Wenjie took the two of them back to the villa - it was already early morning.

The other people in the villa had already gone to bed. Tang Wenjie went to wash up early after arriving home. After that, he said hello to the two of them and left them to their own devices.

Then, the two people in the living room discovered a very serious problem.

The room is gone.

It’s not that the rooms are gone, it’s that the guest rooms are gone.

"They definitely did it on purpose..." Su Yuanshan didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw that the room with only him was still empty.

Ye Rudai glared at him.

Su Yuanshan immediately recalled and explained: "It was definitely not arranged by me, you have to believe me!"

"..." Ye Rudai bit her lip, breathed a few times and then whispered softly: "Keep your voice down - how about I sleep on the sofa?"

"Um... we are both adults." Su Yuanshan stared at Ye Rudai's reddish face under the lamp and stammered, but he immediately became irritated: "Hey! It's better than my previous life."

"Huh? In a previous life?"

"It's okay... Just complain."

Su Yuanshan thought to himself that the two of them were not so "compatible" in the previous life. On the night when Su Yuanshan went abroad first, the two of them naturally started talking...

"Come on, let's go in first—I bet someone's listening in on us right now."

"..."

…

Tang Wenjie held up his mobile phone and climbed onto the bed on tiptoes with the help of the faint light.

Under the dim light of the mobile phone, Yang Yiwen stared with big eyes and kept asking questions with her eyes.

"These two are hopeless." Tang Wenjie chuckled, stretched his left hand to the pillow, and Yang Yiwen rested on it skillfully.

"What did they say?"

"It seems like we have to stay up all night to discuss some algorithm plan... Damn, is it so trendy for young people to fall in love these days?"

"..." Yang Yiwen was stunned for a moment, and then sighed after a while: "It is indeed a bit trendy."

Of course, Su Yuanshan didn't discuss any algorithm with Ye Rudai all night long - he could stay up because of the time difference, but Ye Rudai didn't. Moreover, one of them did not sleep on the bed and the other on the sofa. Instead, they lay down together in clothes. However, Ye Rudai soon couldn't bear the tiredness and fell asleep while humming in agreement...

However, Su Yuanshan's arm was numbed by her pressure.

On the afternoon of the next day, Su Yuanshan arrived at Xinghai Headquarters on time. After a brief meeting with Carly, he went straight to a corner of the headquarters' science and technology park - Lin Benjian's team had been in the name of cooperation since they were packaged by Su Yuanshan. It has been arranged here at Xinghai Science and Technology Park. Although they are guests in name, due to the special relationship between Xinghai and Yuanxin, they are not treated any differently here.

Even... in Carly's vague expression, Su Yuanshan also read a hint of her hope to transfer Lin Benjian's team to Xinghai.

This is of course impossible.

"Uncle Lin." Su Yuanshan greeted the kind-faced old man with a smile.

"Mr. Shan." Lin Benjian stood upright and stretched out his hand to guide Su Yuanshan to the office.

After sitting down, Su Yuanshan simply exchanged greetings to see if he was used to being here before getting down to business.

"Uncle Lin, have you ever thought about going deep into the wafer fab?" Su Yuanshan put down his coffee cup and said seriously: "You are a top expert in the industry. I should know more about the future development trends of the semiconductor industry and semiconductor equipment."

"Don't dare." Lin Benjian quickly waved his hands modestly, but when he heard Su Yuanshan talk about the development trends of the semiconductor industry and equipment, his expression became cautious.

He has been working in the field of optics for a long time, so he naturally knows that the current semiconductor equipment - wafer factory, to be precise - the lithography machine industry is no longer as simple as it used to be.

You know, twenty or thirty years ago, photolithography machines were never considered high-end equipment. Optical lenses and the like were basically disassembled from the camera...

But now, if nothing else, the light source part is beyond the imagination of people twenty or thirty years ago.

This is the charm of technological development.

"In the future, we will definitely develop in the direction of more and more specialization. Even if we are currently a team that only provides corresponding technologies, we must be closely connected with the current technology, and even be stationed in photolithography machine manufacturing companies and wafer fabs. Only by staying consistent with their technology can we survive better."

Su Yuanshan said this very euphemistically. In fact, Lin Benjian, a small team and company that provides "technical know-how" and certain part optimizations and solutions to a large extent - this is why many semiconductor seniors want to realize their technology after retirement. The usual behavior of setting up some pensions-especially the old semiconductor people on the island like to do this-these teams will not be able to survive in the future.

In the future, whether it is a wafer factory or a photolithography machine manufacturing company, it must be extremely specialized, and everything will depend on the product.

Now, Lin Benjian's team is making very slow progress in the light source part. They are still taking the path of providing solutions.

This won't work.
