rebirth of cataclysm

Hu Mingchen calmed the two of them and asked them not to continue arguing.

However, Hu Mingchen did not express his attitude, but used the tiredness of the journey as an excuse to close his eyes and rest.

In fact, Hu Mingchen's willingness to come in person has already shown his thoughts and attitude to a large extent. Otherwise, just a phone call would make the people below reject him, so why bother traveling thousands of miles to fly to the Pearl.

When he arrived at the hotel where he was staying, Hu Mingchen stood by the window of the presidential suite, looking at the bustling city with tall buildings outside.

He said he wanted to take a rest, but he couldn't rest at all and was thinking about cooperation.

Cooperation with Dongfeng Microelectronics is indeed risky. In the field of science and technology, there are two crown jewels that are difficult to match. One is aerospace engines and the other is photolithography machines.

Even to a certain extent, the difficulty of photolithography machines is more difficult than that of aircraft engines.

The investment is large, the difficulty is high, and the time is long. The right time, place, and people are indispensable.

But on the other hand, if we can truly achieve technological breakthroughs and achieve independence in R&D and production, it will be of great benefit and convenience to Pengbo Electronics Group and the entire industry chain.

Just as Hu Mingchen was looking at the freighters on the river and meditating, there was a knock on the door.

Fang Guoping went to open the door and saw Chen Xuesheng walking in with two middle-aged men.

"Mr. Hu..." Chen Xuesheng said hello from all the way.

Hu Mingchen turned around, nodded to Chen Xuesheng, and his eyes fell on the two middle-aged men.

"Mr. Hu, this is Mr. Li Mingshu, the president of Dongfeng Microelectronics, and this is Mr. Cai Zhigao, the vice president and R&D director of Dongfeng Microelectronics." Chen Xuesheng quickly introduced the two middle-aged people to Hu Mingchen.

"Hello, Mr. Hu, welcome to Mingzhu." Li Mingshu stepped forward and extended his hand.

"Thank you." Hu Mingchen shook hands with the other party.

"Hello, Mr. Hu, I didn't expect you to be so young. I admire your actions very much." Cai Zhigao also extended his hand.

"Thank you, that's great. Please sit down, both of you." Hu Mingchen responded and extended his hand towards the reception area.

After the two parties sat down respectively, Fang Guoping acted as a waiter and made tea for them.

This was a private meeting, so there wasn't that much fuss, and I didn't even have an assistant.

"I'm really sorry. We didn't get the news in advance. Otherwise, we should have gone to the airport to greet him today. We were a bit neglectful. Mr. Hu is looking forward to seeing you." Li Mingshu took a sip of tea, put down the cup and looked apologetic.

"There's no need. I don't like to stir up trouble. Besides, I'm just here to take a look. They are the ones who are really responsible at the front desk." Hu Mingchen waved his hand, and then pointed at Chen Xuesheng.

Hu Mingchen's words were high-sounding and gave Chen Xuesheng enough face.

However, Li Mingshu and Cai Zhigao should have known Hu Mingchen personally and knew that he was the one who made the final decision behind the scenes, otherwise they would not have taken the initiative to visit.

Therefore, they just listened to what Hu Mingchen said and would not take it completely seriously.

"Haha, Mr. Hu is joking. Although we have never made friends with each other, we have heard a lot about the legends about you. When we come to Mingzhu this time, we hope that Mr. Hu can give us some constructive and valuable suggestions.

, help us develop." Cai Zhigao smiled and said.

"Yes, yes, we are very welcome and deeply honored that you can come to guide us." Li Mingshu immediately echoed.

As soon as they met, he praised Hu Mingchen. Although he knew that their purpose was to achieve cooperation, Hu Mingchen still felt a little ashamed despite taking advantage of it.

"It's too much praise, it's too much praise. I'm just a layman. I don't know anything about these technologies. As for any opinions or guidance, there's no need to mention them. I'm very ashamed. Let's just communicate as if we were friends.

It's enough to communicate so that I can learn something." Hu Mingchen clasped his hands together and said humbly.

If purely technically speaking, Hu Mingchen is indeed a layman. He doesn’t even know the basic principles of a photolithography machine, let alone the thousands of components involved.

However, Hu Mingchen has his strength, which is strategic thinking. He likes to look at problems from the big picture.

Leave professional matters to professionals, and you only need to provide motivation and be the helmsman.

"Mr. Hu's foresight and strategic vision are even more rare. Otherwise, Pengbo Electronics Group would not have achieved the great achievements it has today. Those of us who study science and engineering technology do not have such a broad macro vision and will focus on a

This is such a small place, we really need you to check on us and give us some advice. These words come from the heart and are by no means a hypocritical excuse." Li Mingshu stared at Hu Mingchen sincerely and said.

"Mr. Hu, Mr. Li graduated from Jiaotong University. He later obtained a doctorate in Europe and worked for a U.S. semiconductor company for 12 years before he was called back to the country in response to the country's call. The same goes for Mr. Cai, who has studied in Europe and the United States.

The special company has a vice president of R&D, and he came back out of national need." Chen Xuesheng gave a general introduction to the two of them.

"In that case, you are the ones worthy of my admiration. I think it is a wise decision for you to return to China for development." Hu Mingchen said sincerely.

"That's what you say, but we are really ashamed. Although we have worked hard, we have not made much public contribution. Instead, we feel like we are eating nothing." Li Mingshu bowed and said.

"Our foundation is too thin and there are too many deficiencies. It is not easy to make up for those shortcomings. It is really difficult." Cai Zhigao took it in and explained.

"You are dancing on the edge of a knife. If our country wants to make technological breakthroughs, we cannot do without people like you." Hu Mingchen praised.

"Haha, our hearts are as warm as the sun to receive such words from you. We are so touched." Cai Zhigao said.

Hu Mingchen smiled faintly and said nothing more.

"Mr. Hu, if you are interested, let me introduce you to our company so that you can have an intuitive understanding of us." Maybe because he thought the atmosphere was okay, or because he didn't want to waste too much time, Li Mingshu then

Then the topic got down to business.

"Okay." Although Hu Mingchen had already read some information about Dongfeng Microelectronics, he couldn't say no if someone wanted to introduce it.

"Dongfeng Microelectronics was founded in 19xx, its predecessor was the Microelectronics Research Institute of Jiaotong University... Now we have three research centers and one experimental center... After so many years of development,

We have been able to provide customers with packaging and testing lithography machines. In the DUV field, we are able to achieve mass production and supply of 90 nanometers... Of course, due to various reasons, our supply volume is not that large yet.

, currently several domestic companies are using our products...now

We have basically mastered the technologies of 65 nanometers and 45 nanometers. However, what we hope is to realize the molding of 28 nanometer products in the next five years... It requires huge investment and recruitment.

More cutting-edge talents need to cooperate with more technology companies and scientific research institutes... At present, our country's biggest shortcoming in the field of electronics is this. As long as we cannot make breakthroughs in this area, we will never become a technological power.

....." Li Mingshu said a long list of words eloquently.

This is Li Mingshu’s key point. Otherwise, it would take a few days to fully understand such a company and their technologies and products.

However, Li Mingshu was also very attentive. In order to take care of Hu Mingchen, he did not talk too much about the technical details, and only mentioned them briefly.

He focused more on planning and looking forward to the future.

During Li Mingshu's mellow introduction, Hu Mingchen was naturally brought in. When he heard that this aspect would become the cornerstone of whether the country could be regarded as a technological power, his blood boiled unnaturally.

Fortunately, Hu Mingchen is calm enough and not as young and energetic as he appears on the surface. Otherwise, he would most likely express his opinion on the spot.

"Well, yes, I am really happy for your achievements and ambitions, and I am full of confidence in your future." Hu Mingchen responded to Li Mingshu in two sentences as if he was speaking diplomatically.

Li Mingshu and Cai Zhigao looked at each other, and they seemed to see the judgment and evaluation of Hu Mingchen in each other's eyes: This young man is very smart, not simple.

"Mr. Hu, despite the efforts of thousands of scientific researchers and employees in the company, we have made some progress, but we must admit that there is at least a ten-year gap between us and Western developed countries to catch up. This time our company will

Pengbo Electronics Group has issued an invitation and hopes that you can help us. Since it is cooperation, for your company

It also has positive value. In the future, the chip companies you invest in will have priority in getting new products, and the prices will be much more favorable. As an investment, once we can break through to 28nm or even more advanced processes,

Then your investment will definitely receive huge returns." After Cai Zhigao's expression returned to normal, he lobbied Hu Mingchen again.

"Return on investment, I believe, is the original intention of all investments. However, prioritizing access to products and offering price concessions does not actually mean much. This is an open market, and competition among many countries is fierce.

We can get more advanced products from the international market. On the contrary, the investment is astronomical

The numbers are average, but this will bring unexpected risks and push up our costs. What's more, Pengbo Electronics Group needs more chip products. Can't it be enough to order directly from the foundry?" Since it is a business negotiation,

, Hu Mingchen couldn't follow their train of thought, so he quoted some of Bob's words.
