I Am the President of the University
Chapter 535 TSMC’s Crisis
Hsinchu City Science Park, Baodao Province.
The sun sets.
In a coffee shop, two men in casual clothes were sitting at a table by the window.
The two seemed to be discussing some important topic, sitting upright.
At the end of the conversation, the two stood up and shook hands. \\b
At the entrance of the coffee shop, Li Ziwei watched the middle-aged man leave until the figure disappeared from sight.
He sighed softly, moved his lips, and finally left without saying a word.
He was born in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan. He graduated from the Department of Electrical Engineering at Tsinghua University in Taiwan. He then went to Stanford University in the United States to pursue a doctorate. After graduation, he returned to Taiwan to join TSMC.
As a talent introduced by TSMC, the salary is naturally not low, but... what makes him difficult is his inner choice.
The apartment he rented was nearby. Li Ziwei walked back and stopped halfway.
He paused in front of a cart.
The old woman was sitting in plain clothes. She didn't stand up until she saw Li Ziwei coming over.
"Grandma, let's have some oyster omelette. It's the same as before."
"Okay, okay, I know it needs to be spicier."
"Grandma, let me tell you, this needs to be a little spicy to make it taste better!\\u001d"
The old woman shook her head and just smiled.
People in Baodao are similar to people in Hu Province. They don’t eat spicy food very much. Those who can eat spicy food are definitely outliers.
The reason why she can remember Li Ziwei is not only because he always comes to visit, but also because his love for spicy food left some impression on her.
The round and plump oysters are sprinkled on the iron plate and sizzling, and the thin Taibai powder slurry is poured on them to make them look even more attractive.
A few slices of green vegetables and a free-range egg.
Finally, the sweet and sour special sauce is poured over the oyster omelette that has just left the fire. The aroma is overflowing, and there is a beautiful crackling sound.
Looking at the oyster omelette, Li Ziwei's previous worries suddenly disappeared, and his eyes were fixed on the iron plate.
Oyster omelette is considered to be the number one snack in Baodao. It was previously popular among fans on both sides of the Taiwan Strait because of the idol drama "Meeting Love Around the Corner". From the beginning of Baodao to the end of Baodao, you can find oyster omelets everywhere, but Li Ziwei’s favorite is the oyster omelet made by this old lady.
When it was about to be finished, Li Ziwei suddenly asked the old lady: "Grandma, have you ever lived in mainland China before?"
"Mainland..." The old woman's hand suddenly trembled, as if she was caught in some memories.
"I lived in mainland China 49 years ago. It's just that so many years have passed and my memories of my childhood are not very deep."
After paying the money and taking the oyster omelette, Li Ziwei did not leave as usual, but pursed his lips and then asked:
"Haven't you ever gone back to find your bride?"
"I've searched for it, but all my relatives in my hometown have passed away, so there's nothing to worry about."
"Hey, grandma, what do you think of the mainland?"
The old lady packed up the iron plate and muttered, "If you ask me, I still think it would be better to return as soon as possible. After all, the mainland is the root. Without roots, it is like a person without a backbone. How can he be called a human being?" oh."
Listening to the old lady's words, Li Ziwei thought thoughtfully.
Thinking of the end, Li Ziwei's smile was as bright as melted snow in winter.
"Thank you grandma, I know what to do."
After waving goodbye to the old lady, Li Ziwei made a decision while eating oyster omelette.
The person who asked him out today was a middle-level manager from TSMC, and the contact was that he wanted to join the other party's team.
It is said that this manager had some contacts with Dr. Liang Yiqing when he was still at TSMC, and Dr. Liang has now left SMIC to join Guanghua.
Compared with other provinces, Baodao people are still closer to Hu Province. After all, they are only separated by Baodao Strait, and Baodao and Ludao both speak Minnan dialect, and even their eating habits are very similar.
People from Baodao may feel acclimatized when traveling to other provinces, but this problem will not arise when traveling to the southern Fujian area of Hu Province.
Thinking about TSMC's current situation, perhaps leaving is the right choice.
TSMC has a market value of 3.97 trillion yuan, which is slightly higher than Tencent. It is the world's largest chip manufacturer and has an absolute leading position in the semiconductor industry.
The 3nm products, which were originally planned to be released in 2021 and enter mass production in 2022, are difficult to produce.
For 3nm chips, TSMC still chooses FinFET transistor technology, while Samsung chooses GAA technology and has successfully tape-out, which is one step closer to achieving mass production.
As a senior engineer at TSMC, Li Ziwei felt very heavy.
TSMC's 3nm chips will most likely be delayed until the first half of 2023 before mass production can be achieved, but this will not keep up with the 2022 iPhone 14.
As for 2nm... delaying it to 2025 is ideal.
This situation reminded him of Intel 10nm.
Intel was unparalleled in the nodes before 10nm, but it overturned directly on 10nm, causing Samsung and TSMC to overtake them in a corner.
But I didn’t expect that when it came to 3nm, TSMC would also encounter Intel’s difficulties.
If optical core had not come out suddenly, the threat to TSMC would be easy to say. After all, there are only two competitors, Samsung and Intel.
As for the mainland...
SMIC, for example, has just completed mass production of 14nm products, and 7nm process-related technologies are still under development.
For chips, the cost of building a factory for the research and development of the 28nm process is only US$5 billion, but when it comes to the 5nm and 3nm nodes, it will cost US$50 billion or more.
But who made the mainland come up with an optical core? Once this thing comes out, no matter TSMC, Samsung, Intel, or Apple, they all have to be labeled GG!
When an electronic chip meets a photon chip, it is no exaggeration to say that the person holding the spear will face the person holding the AK-47, and the one holding the AK-47 will be beaten on the head?
Thinking of the last words said by the old lady with oyster omelette, Li Ziwei rubbed his handsome face.
"The mainland is also developing very well. Maybe it's time to go back."
An undercurrent is surging up and down TSMC. Currently, the global chip industry is facing a chip shortage. TSMC has internal and external troubles. Without China Renaissance as a major customer, it has to rely on a shameless country.
…
Not even close, wait a moment.

Peking University Yuanpei general education curriculum system
1. It has not been established since its inception. This is also an important reason why it was not envisioned when it was first launched and has not yet been realized, thus affecting the effectiveness of this experiment. The purpose of this experiment was to establish a general education system similar to the first-class liberal arts colleges in the United States, but after more than ten years of operation, this purpose has not been achieved. You can find many commentaries on Yuanpei General Education at Peking University online, with mixed reviews. But in a word, this experiment was not successful.
2. Peking University Yuanpei College focuses on general education, but its current training model does not set up its own general education courses, but adopts a platter-style general education method. Whether this method is good or not remains to be seen.
